Kelly Osbourne and her son Sidney step out together in a rare public appearance to show support for Ozzy Osbourne
Dealing With Gestational Diabetes
Kelly was diagnosed with gestational diabetes “well into my third trimester,” she told People in September 2022, “so it wasn’t like I developed it as some people get it from the get-go when they’re pregnant. I got it in my third trimester and basically, I thought it was something that I had done wrong.”
Her only pregnancy craving had been sugar, especially sweet drinks, Kelly explained, and even though she tried to temper it by drinking fresh-pressed juice, “it still had a lot more sugar than I needed.”
Once she made purposeful changes in her diet, she continued, she suffered from a sugar-withdrawal headache for a while but ultimately lost 10 pounds, stopped having to wear compression socks and her skin cleared up.
“I wish I had this kind of incentive prior because I’ve never been able to stick to anything a hundred percent the way that I have been doing this because I’m not doing it for myself,” Kelly said. “I’m doing it for my baby. But I have learned—I can’t even begin to tell you the changes that it’s made.”
