Detailed Answer:
Hai,
Healthy physical and mental health will keep you away from Complications.

I will suggest you general diet and lifestyle. However you should follow with your physician dependents on the weight gain and other symptoms you develop during the entire pregnancy period.
You should have needs appropriate antenatal supervision with periodic checkup of glucose level.


1. Diet

Barley, Wheat, Bajara (pearl millet), oats ,ragi all the cereals can be taken in seamed and gruel form added with cumin and onion (limited).

Green gram Bengal gram, rajma (one choice per day)can be served on daily basis. Cashew,badam,walnut can be served in the evening as snacks.

Vegetables
pregnant women must take 20-35 grams of fibre per day.
okra soaked water, Methi , Karavella , Patola, fiber type vegetables will help in diabetes., Garlic, Udmbara ,clusterbeans,caulifower,potato limited.

all vegetables are advised except tuber type which contain rich starch.
soak 1 okra in 100ml of water overnight and take it the morning.that will help in prediabetic condition as well in gestational diabetes.

Curry leave also work very good blood lowering herb. Take them – 5 to 7 leaves every morning empty stomach

Fruits
Jambu, Kharjura, Bilwa, apples, guava, oranges, watermelon.pomogranate can be served. Seasonal fruit can be taken avoid in excess.

diary products: avoid taking excess milk to precipitate diabetes. occasionally paneer can be added weekly thrice to balance the protein need.


Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day but avoid fatty, oily or greasy food products.avoid tinned and baked items.

2. Life style

Physical activity during pregnancy reduces the risk of gestational diabetes. Regular household work should be done. Don’t treat pregnancy as a disease. Don’t keep on lying in bed or chair. Walk around do routine day today activities. If you learned meditation kindly follow it to be away from anxiety and stress.practise pranayama too.


Regular Sleep – It is quite common to feel fatigued during pregnancy due to hormonal changes in the body. To help the body to handle fatigue and tiredness, take adequate rest and sleep.

No need for any medication in particular unless it really needed. in certain situation kindly visit an ayurveda physician in person and take advise for internal medication.

Thanks and Regards

Brief Answer:
Let me clarify

Detailed Answer:
Hai,

Normally in early morning daibetic patients have rebound hyperglycaemia. that is If your blood sugar drops too low in the middle of the night while you are sleeping, your body will release hormones in an attempt to “rescue” you from the dangerously low blood sugar. The hormones do this by prompting your liver to release stored glucose in larger amounts than usual. But this system isn’t perfect in a person with diabetes, so the liver releases more sugar than needed which leads to a high blood sugar level in the morning. Because of this reason your sugar level in high around 7 am.
Increase in your post lunch blood sugar should be assessed properly.not with one plain reading we cannot suggest treatment or advise. Post prandial timing and blood sugar assessing device plays major in reading.
If the reading remains the same for more than 3 days with different source of food stuffs in the afternoon then need a diabetologist opinion.
Hope I answered your query.
Thanks
