GD - Just started insulin, have questions!

I had controlled my GD for about a month with diet, but this past week, my numbers went crazy and I started insulin on Friday evening.  Since then my numbers have been a roller coaster of highs and lows (ranging from 59-190) even though I am following my diet and never had numbers like those before insulin.  My dr adjusted my insulin dosage yesterday evening and last night seemed okay.  This morning things were all crazy again...

For those of you on insulin, did you need a few days to adjust, or did your numbers return to normal right away?  Any hints or suggestions for keep ing my numbers in a more normal range on insulin?

TIA!

    It took about 4 - 5 days for me to adjust. And also - keep in mind you get more insulin resistant the further along you get. More placenta and hormone = more insulin resistance. :(
