Hello, and I hope I can help you today. I am very sorry that you happen to be diabetic during her pregnancy. It is very difficult to achieve good sugar control, and the fact that you are on insulin shows that a good diet alone is not enough to control your blood sugar. So, if you deviate from your diet and increase your blood sugar levels, you are undermining the work of the insulin that you already take. The baby grows the most during the last month of pregnancy, and eating sugary foods or having a high blood sugar can make the baby grow very large and get fat which can increase the risk of cesarean section and birth injury. So I know it is extremely difficult, but it is not medically advisable for you to eat sweet things like candies, dessert and sugary drinks. You only have one month left of the pregnancy, so please try for your baby s sake to adhere to your diabetic diet as much as possible until the birth. In some drugstores, they sell sugar-free sweets and candy. If these are available to you, you certainly can consume them, or chewing sugar-free gum, can sometimes help with a craving for sweets. If you really need something sweet eating fruit is a healthier way to help ease a craving because it has fiber and nutritional value. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Try to hang in there for just a little bit longer until the baby is born. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy and delivery, Dr. Brown.
