Gestational diabeties
Hello Doctor
I am in 26 weeks of pregnancy
Recently I took the OGTT test
And got borderline results fasting was 107 and GTT was 143 .
My doctor told me to take another fasting & PP test after strict sugar control of 10 days , i was following a low carb diet and walking after meals.
But still my fasting is 103 & Pp is 102
She is suggesting to start with Glycomet SR 600 .
I am sceptical to start with this medicine. Can you help with this? Will this medicine stop after delivery? Any side effect of this medicine?
