Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
With metformin there may be some side effects like the ones described. However, if taken after food, the drug is better tolerated. Since there is no mention of glucose levels & HbA1c%, there is no idea how good the glucose control is.
Switching over to alternat therapies is your choice. There are no drugs that can reduce blood glucose or make pancreas secrete insulin in those therapies, even though a lot of false claims are made. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. However, there is no mention of how the glucose levels are controlled. It is essential to know fasting & pp levels as well as hba1c% before any comment can be made or any suggestion is given. As regards dapagliflozin and vildagliptin+ metformin combination usage, both these (dapagliflozin & vildagliptin) are totally different drugs. One can not be substituted for the other. Mode actions are totally different. Thanks.

Hello.
Since the onset of diabetes is so early in pregnancy and the blood sugar is not within target level it's will be best to shift to insulin rather than continuing with metformin.
The target of treatment should be fasting blood sugar less than 90 and 2 hours post prandial less than 120. With this calorie restriction and light physical restriction is also desirable.
