[QUOTE="CC80, post: 1497019, member: 414613"] I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with my second child and have gestational diabetes, which I never had with my first. I'm currently on 4 Metformin tablets a day and 33 units of Levemir insulin (started on Humilin I but had a hypo). My consultant keeps increasing the insulin as she wants my fasting Readings high 4's. They are currently slightly over averaging between 5.6-5.9. I am watching what I eat but those figures just aren't coming down. My readings throughout the day are perfect. Last night my last test was 5.7 and then this morning it was 5.9. My concern is I think 33 units is a lot and it gets increased every appointment. I have another 6 weeks at least. Any suggestions to help lower the fasting Readings? Thanks [/QUOTE]
