Well, I don't see how the flu could trigger diabetes, and I've never heard of anyone getting diabetes in thier last week of pregnancy. I would say the flu dehydrated you. That's very easy to do, especially as far along as you are. Also, tea is a diuretic which can make you dehydrate more. Try drinking some Gatorade or another drink with electrolytes in it. And drink LOTS of water too. Around 2 liters/day. Hope you feel better soon!! Let us know when the baby arrives!
