please, take care of your sugar levels using your insulin and other measures. unsulin does not cross the placenta so your baby is not affected by its use. in fact keeping normal blood glucose levels during pregnancy avoids fetal complicactions. you will have a large baby but otherwise healthy as far as your info goes
