It depends on the overall diet you feed her. Maybe go to the Bourbon´s Diet page (its in the link list of sugarglider.com). There you´ll find many different PROVEN diets that include the feeding of insects. Please keep in mind that crickets, although necessary in a glider´s diet are high in phosphorous in relation to their calcium content and can therefore be VERY bad for your glider if given too much. Gliders are - at least as far as I know - genetically programmed to eat as much protein as they can get. Therefore they WILL fill up with probably too many crickets and the result is an unbalanced diet.
Hope this helps you out a little bit.
