Hi! Since sugar level is 186 mg/dL (which is high), it's important to control blood sugar along with supporting a healthy pregnancy. Here’s a basic diet guideline:
Next Steps
1. Balanced meals: Focus on low glycemic index (GI) foods like whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, and fruits with high fiber. 2. Avoid sugary snacks: Limit sugary and processed foods. Instead, opt for healthy snacks like nuts, yogurt, and fruits in moderation. 3. Small, frequent meals: Try having smaller meals throughout the day to avoid large spikes in blood sugar.
Health Tips
However, it’s crucial to have a personalized diet plan tailored to your needs. I recommend consulting me for a detailed plan. Let me know if you'd like to book a session!

Hi! A sugar level of 186 mg/dl (post-meal) during the 21st week of pregnancy indicates gestational diabetes, which needs careful dietary control to ensure the well-being of both you and baby.
Next Steps
Please follow these simple tips: Eat every 2–3 hours in small portions. Choose whole grains (daliya, oats, multigrain roti). Add vegetables, sprouts, and paneer in meals. Avoid sugar, sweets, maida, white rice, and fruit juices. Take 1 low-GI fruit (apple/guava) as a mid-meal. Stay hydrated with water, thin buttermilk, or soup.
Health Tips
It can be due to lifestyle or hormonal changes. It would be great if you consult and get a proper personalized diet plan according to your current lifestyle and activities.
