Hello and welcome,
Your sugar levels are high. Any level above 160 is high. It is advisable to keep them below 140.
It will be difficult to bring them down without drugs. However if it is only a question of a day, do not worry. Go to the doctor as soon as possible tomorrow. You will need insulin. Do not do vigorous exercise as it is not advisable during pregnancy. Just take a walk outside or inside the house for 15 minutes and relax after that. Do not eat any carbohydrate after this. If needed you may eat a boiled egg white.
Do not worry. Increase in level for a small time will not have much effect.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Have a safe pregnancy.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
