Hi MN,
I was diagnosed last week with gestational diabetes my second blood test after the glucose drink was considerably high. I was told to take metformin straight away and diet changes.
It took a few days to get the prescription for metformin but while waiting I made immediate diet changes. I’ve made changes now for four days and all my readings have been within normal range. I have now collected my metformin, should I take it anyway? I have an appointment with my GD midwife end of this week, should I ask her if it’s worth seeing if I can control my levels with diet ? I don’t want to come across as paranoid..
This is my second pregnancy and never had GD with my first
