Hello Welcome to HCM Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns. In spite of taking insulin your sugars are not under control. It means that the dose you are taking is inadequate.
You need to increase the dose of insulin after consulting your gynecologist. Also avoid eating sugar rich foods.
Hope this helps you Thank you
