I have posted before also. Yes, you can surely get pregnant while having diabetes. I am currently pregnant with type 2 diabetes. India is diabetic capital so even if you are not type 2 or 1 diabetic, many women get gestational diabetes which left uncontrolled can lead to same type of damages.

First thing you need for that is a doctor who deal in diabetic pregnancies. Before conceiving your HbA1C level should be 6 or 5.6 varies from doc to doc but 5.6 is what non diabetic have.

Now Some can control it with diet and exercise for others they may need medication.

Indian diet is by default high in carbohydrates(carbs) ...roti, chawal, dal, dosa, idli , dal, milk, fruits...all are carb containing foods though milk and dal have protein too.

So people who are not able to control sugar will have to make drastic changes in their diet which is not easy.

General idea about carb is in normal diet you should have 45-60 carbs plus non starchy vegetables and protein. If small amount of protein is taken with each meal it helps in reducing sugar level.
so ideal menu would be 2 thin chapati, with palak paneer where paneer is protein 4-6 small pieces and palak is non starchy vegetable which you can have as much.

1 small thin roti- 15 gm carb
1 small apple- 15 gm carb
1 cup milk- 15 gm carb
1/4 cup rice- 15gm carb
1/2 cup dal- 30 gm carb
1 cup curd- 15gm carb

Some good food are non starchy vegetables like spinach, bhindi, lauki, cucumber, cabbage etc then protein like Paneer (low fat), egg, lean meat like chicken.

Now Fibre in food reduces the carbohydrate like 1 small apple is 15 gm carb and 3 fibre so net carb = 12
similarly brown rice is better than white rice, sweet potato better than potato, multi grain or whole wheat aata/bread better than white bread etc.

Check for glycemic index of the food.

Avoid stress if possible. Chk VitD level and thyroid should be less than 3.5 not 5.0. Take your vitamins.

Once you conceive your sugar can be controlled with insulin so need not worry about that.

I love food and while pregnant had ice creams, gulab jamun n chaat but yes it will be difficult in third trimester so important thing is trying to control it before conceiving.

I hope it helps.
