Im 31 weeks pregnant, 2nd pregnancy. I had gdm in my first pregnancy and now the fasting blood sugar and two hrs often glucose administration has come within normal limits, however 1 hr after glucose is 185 (the normal range value says upto 180). My gynae has suggested metformin twice a day 500 mg, should I go ahead with it or is there an alternative?
