[QUOTE="Janelle123, post: 978969, member: 161646"] I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant. I'm on an insulin pump and starting a few weeks ago I had to increase my bolus with my meals but up until a few days ago my basal rates have remained the same. For the last 3 nights I've been waking up about 1-2am with blood sugars anywhere from 10-12. Each time I've required about 3-4 units to bring me back down to 5-6 by the morning. Each night I've increased my basal rates but my changes don't seem to be enough to stop the high readings. My night time basal rate was 0.900 which I increased to 1.000 then 1.200 last night. My plan tonight is to try 1.400 though I still don't think that will be enough to keep my blood sugars where I want them. This seems to be a sudden and large increase in my insulin needs. How fast and how much did your insulin requirements change during pregnancy? [/QUOTE]
