Ms. lybrate-user personal suggestion would not to start insulin injection as this will increase the chances of diabetes in baby at a very early age. If you want to get it stablised start having sygzium jambolanum mother tincture. As this homoeopathic medicine would be easily available in Kolkata and would not have any side-ffect on your health as well as baby.

I personally feel you should take a second opinion of a physician or diabetologist. Insulin per se is safe in pregnancy.
