The most important treatment now for your pregnant sister is proper control of diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes during pregnancy can lead to so many complications such as preterm labour, polyhydramnios (increase liquor). Sudden fatal death is also common if sugar is not properly controlled especially during the third trimester of pregnancy. For increasing the hemoglobin level she has to take plenty of green leafy vegetables which are rich in iron; they may also help to control of blood sugar. In addition she should take iron tablets such as ferrous sulphate 200mg 3 times daily.
