Hello,
Do not get panic about your health condition, some may get Diabetes during Pregnancy and it will disappear after the completion of pregnancy provided.
One should not be in stressful state and also you might have been advised by the Dietician to take more of Non-Carbohydrate Stuff in the Diet.
Do not get panic one may need to take Insulin also if required so once you are done with the pregnancy concentrate much on your dietary habit and if you have undergone C-section, then take rest for sufficient number of days and start the sufficient exercises to burn your Calories.
If you are a Food Lover, then you need to cut down your Food habits a lot, if not your Diabetes will continue after the Pregnancy also, So take sufficient care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
