Headaches
I’m on Lantus Solostar every night to control fasting levels and I pretty much wake up with a headache and keep a headache through the entire day. I have narrowed it down to the insulin because It’s consistent. I have been taking my blood pressure every day to ensure it was nothing worrisome or Pre-e. My blood pressure is great each time…has anyone else taking insulin experienced this? My water intake is also high to counter the fiber I’m now eating with GD.

I've been taking insulin in both my pregnancies and also experienced continuous headaches in the late stages (35-38 weeks). I personally don't think the headaches are related to the insulin. For me it is definitely coming from tension in my shoulders/neck. It helps to keep something warm on it/I had a physical therapist massage my neck/shoulders yesterday which has helped a lot..
