diabetes

I was just reading a post about labor and how long everyone else's was. Some said 36+ some were like 2 hours. I know you can't eat or drink anything while in labor. And that got me thinking about my own labor I'm 19w 4d but I'm still curious to know when it's time for my little one does that apply to me too. I'm a type one diabetic what happens if I'm in labor for a day in a half my widwife told me they don't encourage c-sections. So if I'm doing this naturally and I'm 33+ plus hours in and I'm checking my sugars maybe every 3-4 hours, does that mean no food no drinks???
