Message: <blockquote data-quote="Will_Long86" data-source="post: 2298363" data-attributes="member: 529195">My wife was diagnosed with gestational diabetes 2 weeks ago.Diet alterations have got most of her levels under control, but her fasting blood glucose has remained high, around 6.0 to 6.5 mmol/ml.She has been on nightly insulin for the past week, starting off at 6 units and increasing to the most recent dose of 20 units last night, but her levels have not come down.We know it's not dawn phenomenon through testing her levels at night, she is just highly insulin resistant.I just wanted to know if anyone here has experienced anything similar, and what kind of dosage you ended up taking to bring your blood glucose under control.Also, how much can she safely increase her insulin dose by? I want her to get her levels under control as soon as possible, but don't want her to accidentally trigger a hypo during the night.Any advice would be very much appreciated.</blockquote>
