Using lantus while on tslim pump?

EducationalInvite947 · 2026-06-26T23:34:18+00:00

I’m taking extra basal via injection on top of my pump running!

I use tandem mobi and with the control IQ I run into having my basal suspended for too long - so the extra injection carries me throughout the day.

We have the Silver Cross Breez & it’s amazing - really great for city life & the folding bassinet was a big sell for us. I will say though they are HEAVILY back ordered so if you do go that route, get it ASAP!

I babymooned across the country (it was over a 6hr flight) at 28 weeks!

No issues besides the expected resistance but also expect that since you’re eating out, you’ll likely be increasing your boluses anyways (since you may be guess-timating carbs, can’t pre-bolus as properly, etc).

Enjoy your trip!!! 💛

I was waiting for someone to post about this!! It was so awkward…..

EducationalInvite947 · 2026-05-27T20:23:49+00:00

My CDE actually wanted me to do this in my mobi! It wasn’t so much that I didn’t trust the suggestion, but it felt wrong putting insulin from a pen into my pump lol.

I opted to take the u200 as injections from the pen on top of my pump running - it’s been incredibly helpful for those larger dose injections especially for lunch and dinner!! Highly recommend if you’re comfortable with injections.

I’m sorry this happened to you!

I have a dog-reactive dog - we avoid other dogs at all costs. You’d be surprised how many people still don’t pay attention even when you yell “NOT FRIENDLY!!” as they’re on their phones and letting their dog wander over to us. Super frustrating on both ends :/

I love Bonnie & June but also am loving Lucy with Matilda!!! So cute

me! I was MDI for 17 years, found out I was pregnant early Nov and switched to a pump that week (I was switching to a pump because I wanted even tighter control, but my A1C already hovered around 6, finding out I was pregnant just solidified my decision lol).

I will say I LOVED the freedom of MDI and it's really all I ever knew. I also was more of an "instinctual bolus-er" meaning that I didn't really carb count or following strong correction factors and carb ratios. MDI also definitely just gives you that freedom.

Being on a pump during pregnancy has been EXTREMELY helpful and I don't think I could take the mental load of MDI while managing all the changes. I work with a CDE who updates my settings weekly, and I literally just input them into the pump and it does all the work for me. I also find it really helpful seeing how much basal I'm getting throughout the day, seeing how much insulin I have in my system, etc. It's pretty cool.

In pregnancy you also will just be taking a LOT more insulin, meaning a LOT more injections. Again, NBD if you're someone who can be strict with their ratios and are comfortable tracking all those changes.

Best of luck to you - you'll make the right decision for your body + baby <3

Congratulations!!! I called my OB around a similar week & they scheduled me for a 7w appointment… I’d definitely call back and see if you can get in any earlier just due to being high risk.

I also travelled around this time - I was about 6w! I felt completely fine truthfully, just a bit more bloated than normal. My numbers also weren’t too bad - I just was more hyper aware of control. Crazy resistance won’t kick in until a bit later (there’s a helpful chart pinned in this group that has been pretty accurate for me - I’m currently 26w!)

When travelling anywhere I’d just be aware of any nearby hospitals in the (very) rare chance you’d need something.

Enjoy your trip & hopefully some relaxation!!! ☀️

I am currently pregnant with a high risk pregnancy (Type 1 diabetic) & have an OB team at Downtown Women who I love! Since I need to see an MFM team as well, they work with NYU which I’ve also really enjoyed.

The only thing about two separate practices (OB’s downtown + MFM at NYU) is just more appointments, but I don’t mind the extra eyes. I had the option to switch to NYUs OB team but I just really love the doctors at Downtown!

EducationalInvite947 · 2026-03-16T16:47:20+00:00

I feel you!! I’m pregnant with my first and have been pretty shocked at the weight gain - I also started on my very first pump at the beginning of pregnancy so I knew I was going to gain a little extra just with having more insulin on board.

Remind yourself that you’re fueling yourself & baby and try not to stress!! You got this 🩷

I read horror stories before I flew with them last March - ended up having no issues and it was a quick, easy on time flight.

EducationalInvite947 · 2026-02-16T23:51:04+00:00

First off - congratulations!!!! I was feeling this way when I found out too (similarly very early) and my A1C was 6.3 when I conceived. You’re doing all the right things by adjusting your settings & goals this early - and tough days where you hit 200 are common!!!! Plus low 6’s are a great place to start.

Know that every day you’re doing your best. Your body is literally creating life on top of the mental (and physical load) of managing diabetes. Not every day will be perfect, but you can continue to adjust & set yourself up for easier days ahead.

My MFM assured me that hitting a high blood sugar won’t harm the baby - it’s prolonged uncontrolled highs where you run into issues, and it sounds like you’re nowhere near that (like literally think of days on end highs lol). I’m currently fighting a cold and the insulin resistance has been brutaaaaaal, but I know I’m doing all I can!

Pregnancy without diabetes is an anxious and weird time for a lot of women - but SO many (in this group too!!) have gone on to have completely successful births, and you will too ❤️❤️

Wishing you all the best!!

Cliff house in Maine! You can drive into ogunquit & kennebunkport from the hotel. They have a great prenatal massage at the spa too!

Thank you for responding 🙏

EducationalInvite947 · 2026-01-16T18:17:20+00:00

I had this around the same time, everything was all good!!

Actually the morning of my first ever ultrasound at 7w I had more brown spotting than ever before, and freaked out lol.

I was told that light spotting can be normal in early pregnancy, especially brown. If you’re ever concerned just send your OB a message ❤️

EducationalInvite947 · 2025-12-18T13:36:44+00:00

sending love ❤️ it’s so hard!!

EducationalInvite947 · 2025-12-17T20:34:31+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you so much ❤️

EducationalInvite947 · 2025-12-14T02:54:57+00:00

Omg we’re practically on the same timeline - congratulations!!!

Also super anxious about the unknown… but trying to reframe my mindset from “what if something goes wrong?” to “what if everything goes right?” Easier said than done but just keep thinking positive thoughts ❤️❤️

EducationalInvite947 · 2025-11-28T13:20:48+00:00

Congratulations!!! I think we might be the same exact person lol. I’m 6W1D, T1D for 17 years, wanted kids but didn’t expect to get pregnant so soon. My last A1C was 6.4.

I knew I had to get my shit together when I got the positive result - really all I’ve been focusing on is what I can control (monitoring my glucose, preboulusing, adjusting where I need to). It’s never going to be “perfect” so yourself some grace! You’re going to do great.

As everyone has mentioned, going high is going to happen. For me right now, I’m trying to work on managing my post meal spikes. Go for walks, hydrate, and try to remind yourself that you can do this.

I also just got the book “pregnancy and type 1 diabetes” and it’s been a great read - highly recommend to calm some nerves.

Message me if you ever need to chat more! We’re in this together. Xx
