Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
If you have Gestational Diabetes , having sugar can increase glucose levels and so cause changes in pregnancy.This could be the reason for your Doctor to advise on cutting sugar intake.
Good sugar control in Diabetic mothers is a main factor to decide the mode of delivery and health of baby.
Take care
