Yes this is an endo that I was referred to by my OB. I also see a diabetes nurse and a dietician.
The nurse (who has instructed me in the all the monitoring and injection procedures) seems to think I don't need it either, and was the only one who bothered to take notice when I said my levels went up with new strips (they went straight down again with different ones).
I can see why the slow acting, night one might be needed, but with all my day levels normal, I'm finding it hard to think it's not just a doctor who can't admit when he didn't listen and got it wrong. And of course, he was quite defensive over the phone when I questioned it.
Obviously, I don't want to do anything that might ultimately harm my baby, but how can I be sure unnecessary insulin won't do that either?
I'd like to get a second opinion but we don't have a money tree

Bit frustrating. Thanks for your replies, I will have to think on my options a bit I guess.
