Hello,
I can understand your concern about your friend and want to tell you that anything above 180 sugar is abnormal, even during pregnancy, so your friend definitely needs to consult a doctor.
Its better to do glucose tolerance test to rule out gestational diabetes, which is the easiest way. So go for it before consulting a doctor. Its an easy procedure and you can find out anywhere.
Hope this will help your friend and feel free to ask more of your queries directly to me anytime.
