Hello,
In gestational diabetes your aim should be to keep fasting blood sugar less than 95 and postprandial blood sugar less than 120.

Yes, drug treatment with metformin (glycomet) is safe and can be continued. However if treatment with metformin does n...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Since you are already on metformin and have hba1c% 6.5%, means there is diabetes. As you have not provided any other information like weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, serum creatinine & urea, as well as lipid profile, there is no way to say anything further. Please come back with all the necessary details, then only I will be able to give any specific advice. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.

Another important aspect is your excessive weight. Because your present BMI (Body Mass Index) is 43.33 kgs /Sq meter(Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter). Which means you are in very morbid (ve...more
