Is it permissible for me to break my fast in Ramadan, knowing that I am five months pregnant and suffer from no illness other than diabetes, and I fear for my fetus from fasting?

Islamic law permits pregnant and breastfeeding women to break their fast if they fear for themselves or their children. If your fear for your fetus is religiously valid (based on experience or the advice of a trustworthy doctor), then you are permitted to break your fast. You must make up the days you missed fasting and feed a poor person for each day, especially if your fear was solely for the fetus. It is advisable to consult a trustworthy female doctor to assess the extent of potential harm to the fetus from fasting.
