The current experience is that the short acting insulin analogs lispro and aspart are safe; however, long acting insulin analogs can also be added and dosage titrated to prevent hypoglycemia. Nutritional management is the cornerstone of treatment; insulin, glyburide and metformin can be used to intensify treatment. Neonatal hypoglycemia and potential fetal harm needs to be avoided.

Isapgol husk 5gm three times a day, dissolved with a glass of water before meals, will help her in many ways, like control of in the fluctuations in blood sugar, relief in constipation etc. It is shown to reduce HbA1C by 0.5%. If she can tolerate it, it may help her.

She requires pre pregnancy counselling. allow her weight and BSL to settle down before planned pregnancy. CGMS and insulin pump are good idea for management . Judicious dietary advise depending on post preandial variation is to be sought.
It would be ideal to lose weight either by medical or surgical management. Intra gastric balloon can be an option if we are looking at a small to modest weight loss.
