The mechanism of action of that insulin is:
It is a human insulin with a gradual beginning of action and long duration.The action begins at the hour and a half, the maximum effect is presented between 4 and 12 hours following the administration, with an approximate duration of action of about 24 hours.

Here are the prospect:

You have to know that as pregnancy progresses, you will need to increase the amount of insulin.

Hello, I put insulating 6u with dinner, I'm going to have dinner between 90-110 but when I wake up there are days 75-80 and another 95-100 because ??I know that for a diabetic the same is not much the difference or it is important but during pregnancy the limit of 90 is the limit between good and evil and are super strict, any explanation?

The explanation could be some type of dinner food, a small difference in exercise of the previous day or some hormone that does not know its function.
In any case, I advise you to use a very precise glucometer (such as Bayer's contour Next).Ask your health team (it's free).
