Question
Hello, on Yom Kippur I will be 31 weeks pregnant. I have gestational diabetes, and my doctor told me that under no circumstances should I fast, and I need to eat and drink normally, meaning that meals should not be chocolate but real food that includes protein and complex carbohydrates. I am not balanced by injections, only by diet, and my sugar levels are perfectly fine with the diet. What should I do on Yom Kippur, what do I need to do at all? Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
You should eat your regular meals, divided into portions of 'shiurim', meaning each portion should be less than 30 cc, with a 4-minute interval between them.
