GD and they made me get on Levemir

Megan
Is anyone taking Levemir, it's an insulin pen.  It has made me extremely thirsty and now my numbers are really crazy....feeling so defeated and I wish I would have stood my ground and said no! 
Any one have anything they want to share about this medicine or even about GD in general are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

How long have u been takeing the insulin ? I was told if they try to get u to take it for GD to not take it unless you absolutely have no choice because it could make your body dependent on it and after you give birth you'll have to continue to take it but make sure if you are takeing you are getting the right amounts they normal have you give to much cause everyone's different try takeing a little less and see how that goes make sure you are staying hydrated and eating healthy

And yes I'm eating right and definitely drinking water! I actually feel dehydrated since I've started taking it.

Heads up if you go through the discover tab you can add the gestational diabetes thread to your groups you may find someone on there who takes what you do.
