Fasting numbers

I am 31 weeks and started insulin a week ago and my overnight numbers are still bad. I have been increasing every by two units every two days and I am up to 9 Units and it doesn't seem to do anything. But I can barely get any sleep the last two weeks. Idk what to do

I ended up on 22 units ans started on 14 I'd ring ypur diabetes midwife for advice xx

What do you count as bad numbers? Defo contact your diabetes specialist it’s ok to go up much higher than what you’re on now. Safe for you and baby x

Deffo call ur specialist but Have you tried switching the time you’re taking your insulin? I had the same issue in the beginning but once I started taking it later and having a super low sugar dinner I found that helped. Hope all gets better!

@Rachael my fasting is supposed to be under 95 and I am usually above 110. I will be calling this evening

@Najma I take it right before I go to bed

I always found cheese kept them down at night, I'm now only on 4 units at night. I go between 5.2-5.4.

@Sarah I usually try to but my schedule makes when I eat and take make sugars weird. So snacks are weird before bed if I get one.
