You should consult an endocrinologist who will most likely increase the dose of insulin and give multidose regimen. A word of caution. Uncontrolled diabetes in early pregnancy cud mean greater risk of abnormalities in fetus. please get first trimester and second trimester screening as well as fetal echo done at the recommended timings.
