Insulin and diabetes medicines

Diabetes treatment is individual and can change during pregnancy; follow the prescribed glucose, food and medicine plan and report patterns promptly.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Know the exact low- and high-glucose action plan and who adjusts doses. Severe low glucose, vomiting with ketones, confusion or inability to keep fluids down needs urgent care.

What changes the answer

  • The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
  • Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
  • Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
