Hello :) If you at all can avoid I would NOT go on insulin. I know full blown diebetics who control their sugars by diet, one of the main things they use is coconut oil! I would highly recommend it. I love it! I buy mine from Wilderness Family Naturals at http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/mall/virgin_coconut_oil.asp
Also they take large doses of vitamin C. I did full colon and Liver Cleanses with both of my pregnancies, I had no problem and very healthy babies. I had thyroid problems, very large babies, but very strong and healthy. Had I known about coconut oil I would have solved that problem as well. :) I would not be afraid of taking the Dr. S's liver formula at all. Everything you are doing sounds great! I hope this helps and best of luck to you in your pregnancy! Caitlin Lorraine
