I'm 33 weeks pregnant and about 3 weeks ago I found out i had Gestational Diabetes and with diet and exersise my sugares were on target. Till 4 days ago when I got a cold and no matter how much I stick to my diet and how much I exercise I can't get my sugars down. Can a cold do this? I'm afraid I will have to go on insilin.

Yes. Illness causes the circulation of stress hormones which block the action of insulin. As Cammie says you may need short-term insulin. I'm sure you want to do the healthiest thing for your baby, so it is important to let your doctor know what's going on.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Diabetes And A Cold

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/Zwn0E
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Doctors treat gestational diabetes with a carefully controlled diet designed to keep the pregnant woman’s blood sugar level within the normal range for pregnancy. If you have gestational diabetes, your doctor will probably refer you to a dietitian who can help you plan meals that will control your blood sugar and consider your food preferences. You are likely to be advised to avoid high-fat foods, eat a variety of foods including fruits and vegetables and watch portion sizes. The number of calories you need depends on how much you weigh and the stage of your pregnancy.

Hi Ask M,
You've probably noticed that Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, has been in the news a lot lately regarding its connection to breast cancer and many other diseases. So you probably won't be surprised to learn that it may also be connected to gestational diabetes.
A lack of sunshine might also be why we get colds and flu more often in the winter.
So Vitamin D could be the link between both of your conditions.
One of my links below states that in one study:
"...the researchers followed 741 pregnant women. They found that 70.6% of them were deficient in vitamin D (<25 nmol/L). For women who had gestational diabetes, the risk of severe deficiency (<12.5 nmol/L) was even higher. The authors concluded that vitamin D deficiency has a connection with insulin resistance."
We got scared out of the sun in the late 80s and no one bothered to tell us how we were going to get enough Vitamin D. Now, our lack of sun exposure is coming back to bite us in so many different ways.
The good news is that Vitamin D deficiency is usually easy to correct.
Dr. Mercola, a proponent of vitamin D testing, strongly suggests getting most of your vitamin D from sunshine and during the rest of the year, or if you are dark-skinned (because dark-skinned people need many times more sun exposure), getting it from D3 supplements.
Mercola says your optimal tested level should be 45-50 ng/ml or 115-128 nmol/l. (see links below for the proper test)
The Canadian Cancer Society recently announced its recommendation that its population take a D3 supplement of 1000 IU daily. Vitamin D researchers often suggest higher daily intake, especially for expectant mothers. It is considered safe to take very high amounds of D3 for a short period of time to correct acute defiency.
Your Vitamin D status may also be connected to your baby's chances of developing a variety of illnesses including type 1 diabetes.
Good luck!
