I have been using an insulin pump with Humalog, and recently, my husband and I told the doctor we were ready for our second child.

I would like to know more about the effects of Humalog in the first trimester of pregnancy.

My doctors have told me that it may take up to a year to get my blood sugars back under my normal control since I had the baby. Is this true? I certainly never expected it to be this difficult after the baby. Does breast feeding have anything to do with it?
