Gestational diabetes (diabetes detected during pregnancy) is quite common in india. Usually a 75 g glucose is given for doing a oral glucose tolerance test (ogtt), to detect gestational diabetes. Gdm is diagnosed if 2 hour blood sugar is above 140 mg. The recommended management is to start the patient on medical nutrition and help control blood sugar for 2 - 3 weeks if not controlled, start on insulin injections. Oral drugs are not recommended.

You can achieve further control of your sugar if you don't have any symptoms of low sugar Also do your HbA1c.

Get your blood sugar monitoring regularly, stick to diabetic diet, exercise regularly, be in touch with your doctor. If blood sugar levels start falling, your doctor will reduce your medicine.

You should keep checking your blood glucose fasting and 2 hrs post food regularly. You may have developed some mild GI side effecr with your previous medicine which are gone with the new that tou have started.

So I feel there is a need to look at overall treatment including following details: fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, dietary ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Tab Gluconorm SR 500 is containing only Metformin, where as The other tablet has Glimepiride 1 mg plus metformin. So the action can be much stronger. That may lead to lower glucose levels. Plus changing medicine with doctor's advise, is not good. Thanks.
