[QUOTE="logiebear, post: 15982, member: 10100"] Hi there, I'm sorry this may seem long winded but I have been dealing with my diabetes for a few years now and I am getting no where fast. When I was 30 weeks pregnanct I was diagnosed with diabetes and given insulin injections which progressed to extremely high doses for 6 weeks then I had my son. After a glucose tolerance test 10 weeks later I was told I had type 2 diabetes and was told exercise and diet control was the option. For 6 months I tried this with no success or control then I got pregnant again and began injections. I managed to control it in pregnancy and it rose so at the end of the pregnancy I was injecting 50 units of Novorapid x 3 and 50 units of Glargine at night. Then again I was sent home afterwards with no control and no follow up. I then got pregnant in Feb of this year and was started on novorapid and glargine and metformine as my HbA1c was 9.2. I sadly lost this baby in May and my specialst nurse and I decided that as I woiuld be trying to conceive again soon that I would stay on the injections to try and get my HbA1c down to within control i.e under 7. Now I am so concerned about my bg levels that I crying and worrying a lot over it. My current medication is this: 50 units of Novorapid x 3, 60 units of Glargine at night and Metformine Glucphage x 3 at tea time. I am still getting readings between 7.5 and 13 after each and ever meal and my doses go up weekly at the moment. I have been told that I have insulin resistance but this is just silly. I am in pain when injecting these HUGE doses and nothing is levelling out. I am putting my doses up and my bg levels are not coming down!! Does anyone else have this kind of problem or is it just me :? :( [/QUOTE]
