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.

Congratulations on your new child (I assume everything's OK because you mention breast feeding in a previous post). Please get medical help, we can't advise on dosage here.

I am from Pakistan and yes, I am considering going to a medical specialist rather than adjusting insulin myself. I thought maybe someone has experienced the same problem as me.
