Comedian and host Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa announced their second pregnancy in October. In one of her recent vlogs on her YouTube channel, Bharti shared an update about her health condition, revealing that her sugar levels had suddenly increased during pregnancy. This has made her stressed and confused because she has never been too careless about her food habits.
Bharti Singh revealed that her average blood sugar (HbA1c) level was 4.5 some time ago, but it has recently risen to 6.7. The comedian was confused because she had not eaten anything that would have raised her blood sugar levels. She said, "My sugars have rapidly increased, especially the fasting sugars; they are usually never so high. I am definitely going to be scolded by the doctor today."
"I am confused because I did not eat anything that would trigger my sugars or increase them, nor am I under any stress. I only drink one cup of tea in the morning with jaggery. I have been extremely particular about my diet; I only eat millets and have completely cut off rotis, rice, and other forms of carbs, so I don't know why my sugar has gone so high. I am extremely worried because I don't know. I just want it not to affect my baby in any way," Bharti added.

Bharti also shared that her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, was in Dubai for professional work, which made her more anxious. She said, "Haarsh is not in town; he had to leave for Dubai for some work last night, and I am just feeling so lost right now. Whenever Haarsh is around, I feel more confident and calm. He is not just my husband, he is also my best friend, my confidant, my everything - so now that he is not here, I am fretting even more."
Excessive levels of sugar during pregnancy may be dangerous to the mother and baby. This is referred to as gestational diabetes. It occurs when the body can no longer utilise the insulin sufficiently, causing higher glucose in the blood. Failure to do it in time may lead to complications such as high birth weight, premature delivery and high blood pressure in the mother.
Here are some tips that pregnant women can follow to manage high sugar levels:
Frequent small meals may help to keep the level of glucose constant.
Sugar can be rapidly absorbed in foods that contain added sugar and refined flour.
Light exercises, stretching or prenatal exercises may help with improved insulin consumption.
A good sleep removes stress and maintains hormone levels.
Every day observation provides a clear image and assists physicians in organising therapy.
If your sugar levels increase during pregnancy, consult a doctor immediately. Timely action can prevent health damage and help you stay healthy.
