I am trying to get my HBA1C on track so over the next year or so i can try to get pregnant.
However, i had my clinic appointment this morning, and after being told a few months ago by the diabetic nurse that they might change me to lanuts from levemir at my hospital appointment this morning (as they said lantus lasts 22 hours and levemir only lasts 12,news to me), the doctor then told me that he was NOT changing me from levemir to lantus as there was no point as "they" (the experts) are not sure if its safe to use either levemir or lantus when pregnant.
is this true? first i have heard of it. He said whem im TTC that he will change me to insultard. Anyone had this said to them before?? or am i behind on things??
This is a new doctor as my old one who i have had since diagnosed 20 years ago has retired. So im just a bit weary.
Going to ring my diabetic nurse when shes back in on monday and ask her as she seems to know more than any of the doctors.
Thanks
Noelle
