Metformin Health Feed

Two different drugs, as you are allergic to metformin so your doctor changed the meds. Kindly give details of blood sugar levels.

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.

Please note in Pcos there is insulin resistance for which your doctor must have started you on diamet , and yes you need to reduce weight by doing regular exercise.
