I am 16 week pregnant and on insulin 6 units before breakfast and 6 before dinner. Can I use mother's horlicks? As I am on a very restricted diet though taking the supplements unsure if the fetus gets enough nutrients to grow.

Mother’s horlicks is has too much sugar. I personally feel it should be banned. 1 in 4 women are getting diabetes during pregnancy and mother’s horlicks certainly does not have the right nutrient balance on women with diabetes
