She can have it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Cereals like Proso millet are beneficial to the prevention and management of diabetes mellitus. Such a diet also improves insulin sensitivity and cholesterol metabolism during pregnancy. There is no harm in having it for dinner or lunch. It will rather help by decreasing the diabetes during pregnancy if taken regularly.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
During pregnancy the TSH levels n early pregnancy should be less than 2.5 She may need proper thyroid hormone supplements after consulting her gynecologist to bring the levels to normal.
Regarding fruits she can have less sugary fruits - half of banana, guava, cucumber, carrot, half of medium size apple, etc but fruits like XXXXXXX water melon, grapes etc should be taken in very small quantities. An advice from a dietitian will be helpful.
A diet that includes fruits, vegetables, fiber-containing foods, and low-fat milk is advised.Take six small meals instead of three big meals which are equally time spaced.
Foods to be avoided: Glucose, sugars, honey, jaggery, all sweets, chocolates, ice creams and candies.
Foods to be restricted: Vegetables like Potatoes, yam, arbi, sweet potatoes; Fruits like XXXXXXX bananas, sapota, seethaphal, and avocado .
Foods to be used freely: Green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, cucumber. Radish, carrot, homemade soups. Tea, Coffee without sugar, and skimmed milk, buttermilk. Whole wheat flour, Ragi, Corn flakes, Wheat flakes.
Hope my answer is helpful.
