Heyy
Yeah diabetes in pregnancy is high risk but we have to control the Blood sugar as it’s almost your completion time so don’t worry we’ll manage it together.
Continue diabetic diet, avoid junk and refined food.
Walk daily at least 1 hour (start with 30 minutes )
Keep watch on baby movements
Get you USG and few other investigations done.
Risk depends on severity of derangement of blood sugars.
Need to answer some questions -
What’s your blood sugar level now?
What medicine are you taking to control sugar ?
Is you sugar well controlled on medicines ?
Were you taking something for sugar control before pregnancy?

Take care dear
