Hi! First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy. Since you have diabetes and are taking insulin from the beginning of your pregnancy, it’s important to know that:
1. Insulin does not harm your baby. It actually helps control your blood sugar, which is very important for the healthy development of your baby.
2. Your PP (postprandial) sugar of 152 mg/dL is not too high, but ideally should be below 140 mg/dL. So your doctor increasing your insulin dose to 40 units is a step to help bring it under better control.
3. Increasing insulin doses during pregnancy is common because hormonal changes make your body more resistant to insulin. It does not mean anything dangerous, and many women need higher doses as pregnancy progresses.
4. After delivery, your insulin requirement often drops suddenly, and some women may even need no insulin if they had gestational diabetes or mild pre-existing diabetes. Your doctor will monitor and adjust your dose accordingly.
Next Steps
Keep checking your sugar levels regularly.
Maintain a diabetic-friendly pregnancy diet and stay physically active as advised.
Go for regular check-ups and fetal growth scans.
Health Tips
don’t worry – you're doing the right thing by staying under medical care. If you'd like, I can help you with a personalized pregnancy diet plan too.

Hi,
Don't be worried about it. It's crucial to control sugars in pregnancy to ensure that your baby grows well and develops well. Regarding the insulin, do consult with your physician to decide on which type of insulin to use for pregnancy. A long acting insulin will help reduce the number of injections for you
All the best
Take care

No , insulin is safe for child but yes try control sugar levels in acceptable range so that baby remain healthy. Measure your sugar fasting and 2 hours after breakfast lunch and dinner. This is called SMBG ( self monitoring of blood glucose) to understand how your diet and insulin is affecting your sugar levels
