I had to do the C-Peptide test in order for my insurance to justify the purchase of the Dexcom GM (CIGNA dictates it as a pre-requisite) and the results came back that I am basically making NO insulin on my own. Before the pregnancy, I was taking Byetta 10mcg twice daily with 2g’s of Metformin and, yes, I had a severe case of dawn phenomenon but my HbA1c was at 6%. Morning sugars were always around 125-150. I am 34 weeks along, now they are talking about possible inducement at 38 weeks if the insulin they put me on (switched from Novolog to U-500) doesn’t show an improvement in my current numbers.
I am really insulin resistant with this pregnancy. I have to bolus 45 minutes before I eat and my sugars still shoot up before the insulin crests and the sugar creeps down.

Has anyone else been type 2 and this happen or have the members here always been type 1?
