Your doctor is doing the right thing. More than one sort of insulin can be used during (a short or rapid acting and a long acting). It just depends on your blood glucose readings before breakfast and post meal times.
Metoformin is a FDA pregnancy category B. It is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby, so that can be used as well.
The aim of treating diabetes during pregnancy is to keep you blood sugars relatively constant with small peaks, otherwise it may be harmful to the baby.

I found out what was wrong today. The nurse finally called me back and after a 35 minute conversation she realized that her nurse had called in novolin N and humulin N. Not the novolin R that I was supposed to get. That's been the whole problem all along. Thanks for the reply.
You know that it is common for pregnant women to get Type 2 diabetes, and most generally it returns back to normal, (Search... Earth Clinic.com for more info)... unless you start taking a whole pile of junk medications, especially Statin drugs, some nasty permanent side effects. Also have you bothered to research statins and their adverse side effects, and do yourself a favor ... just because the FDA says its safe... don't take that as proof, most of those drugs were rubber stamped by the FDA to facilitate their arrival in the marketplace for Big Pharmaceuticals, if you search for the testing studies done... what you will find is maybe a handful of favorable test subjects, certainly not enough to prove they are safe... You realize that sugar, as is common white table salt both poison... right... there is nothing in it that the body can use...

needs,,, or metabolize, as such it simply causes the body to store it in different organs as something the body does not recognize and has no idea how to get rid of. In turn it causes all kinds of adverse effects on the bodies organs over a lifetime of consumption, each and every one of them toxic... and bad. Also stay away from artificial sweeteners as they are confirmed carcinogens... research this stuff... ask the questions ... that you have taken for granted... as already being asked by the people that are supposed to be looking out for our health. If you need a sugar replacement this will have the cause and effect of changing your lifestyle eating habits, use a natural Stevia Product make sure its pure and not mixed with anything, research this as well. As for your GP, he has no vested interest in you being healthy, if your healthy he's out of work... so don't take his word for anything as being gospel, he and they have but one God ... Big Pharma... Ask the damn questions...
