Frustrated with MFM

31f 10w4days been diabetic for 23 years been MDI for the past 12 years. My MFM just started this week reviewing my numbers (using libre 3+). And she’s already making changes I don’t agree with. Before pregnancy my a1c 7.2, just had it checked this week 6.3 I’ve never been below a 7 in my 23 years of having diabetes. Anyways I was on progesterone up until 8 weeks, while on that my blood sugar was sooooo out of controlled so I decided to up my lantus from 16-20. Did it make a difference not really but at 8 weeks I stopped progesterone and stayed on 20 units and my blood sugars have been soo much better. Well the other day I get a message from my MFM regarding some lows I’ve been having in the afternoon nothing crazy like 1 or 2. So she told me to cut back to 16 again in the morning 4 at night. Whatever I’ve always had an issue with listening to these people bc I know myself better then they do but I decided I will listen since I have a human growing inside me and I wanna do everything that is right. So yesterday I did 16u in the morning. Omg my blood sugar was up and down allll day reaching to like 300 which I haven’t had since I’ve been off of progesterone. So i decided today that I’m going back to 20 bc I’m not playing this game and having my blood sugar be outta of control. I get a message today from my MFM saying she reviewed my numbers and still notices a lows in the after noon and wants me to cut back to 12u of lantus! Like wtf!! I messaged back and basically asked if she saw my numbers from yesterday and how I’m not really comfortable going to 12u. Well got a message back saying to go to 14u instead. Like I’m so mad and annoyed I’m not going to message back. I honestly felt like shit yesterday and I’m not going to keep experimenting anymore. I did 20 today and my blood has been almost perfect!!! Am I over reacting? I just feel like I’m not being heard at all.

Can I also mention the fact I got a Inpen a couple months ago since I’ve been trying to get my sugars under control while trying to conceive. My endo keep sending humalog pens for my prescription and not the the cartridges so i haven’t been able to try it. Well now that my MFM took over everything they asked me about my InPen and I told them that I haven’t been able to use it so they sent me a prescription over for Humalog, I asked if they were pens or the cartridge for my Inpen and they said due to no one in the office being knowledgeable with the Inpen they aren’t able to get me the right prescription until they meet with the Medtronic rep and get more information. Like wtf, idk if it’s my hormones but these people got me so pissed off
