When did you have to increase your insluin

Question

So im think im finally at the point where my insulin needs to be increased. ive been getting that slowly raising over the last month. i was originally getting 60-70 for fasting,then 80-90 and i woke up today with a 110. im 24weeks 5days, up until this point no adjustments had to be made on my units so im wondering at what stage of pregnancy did your doctor's had to increase or make any kinda changes to your insluin.

Answer

im at 11 units (Novilin R) 22 units (novilin N) in the mornings total 33units
evenings im at 8 units (Novilin R) and 9 units (Novilin N) I have been increased every weeks so far I'm 32 weeks.

Answer

Increased at 34 weeks... the further along you are the more likely your body creates a resistance to the insulin 😕

Answer

I go up 5 units every week 🙄 even if I have numbers close
To 90 (91,92) they said it's not good enough. So they increase, and then my
Numbers get worse. I'm really frustrated.. feeling like it's pointless! Up to 35 units at bedtime, which I know will increase to 40 on Friday 😩

Answer

Answer

Just got prescribed insulin today. What amount do y’all take? I’m at 20ml. Just curious how that compares to everyone else. I’m a little nervous about taking it.

Answer

I was diet controlled for a couple of months until I was 34 weeks pregnant where I have been put on 3 units insulin on an as needed basis, before a large meal or if I know I will eat more carbs than usual. They say it is normal in later pregnancy to develop even more resistance.

Answer

It increases after 20 weeks. And keeps climbing usually. But it is different for everyone.
