    Correct Answer: D

    Pregnant women with diabetes often experience difficulty with insulin effectiveness during the second half of pregnancy due to increased levels of human placental lactogen.

Consequently, glucose regulation becomes more challenging, necessitating closer monitoring and potential adjustments in diabetes management.
