Hey, Its been 20 days since my c-section. My Insulin requirements were very low for initial 2-3 days. However now I am unable to control my glucose level even with higher doses of insulin( especially long acting one. I am using lantus) Can anyone share what are the requirements of insulin post delivery??

Where are you located (country)? If in the UK you should urgently contact your team and get advice, ringing 111 if necessary. I personally would be very concerned that increased insulin requirements can also go along with infection.
