Hi Blackorchid, sorry but I have no info on the use of metformin either. Although on the Diabetes australia website there is a story about a mum who had GD who was on tablets to control it (so I'm assuming metformin?) so it must be done for sure.
Hi belfie, Bummer about the higher BSL'sgood to hear you only need to see the endo fortnightly though. I had a 7.5 last night but I know why. I tried my luck with a jacket potato. I haven't had one for a couple of months and boy was it Yummy. I also had it with crumbed veal so the potato along with the crumbs on the veal would not have done my BSL any favours
Just want to add a quick question for those who are medically managed (ie: on insulin) what gestation does your health care provider feel happy with you going to? Are they keen to let you go over or do they want bub delivered early? The hospital aren't too keen for me to go past 40 weeks. Especially because of combining the GDM with a possible VBAC. In fact the Ob said in a perfect world they'd like to see me go into spontaneous labour before 39 weeks with a bub measuring under 4 kg.
Just curious to know that everyone elses care provider thinks about when you GD bub will be better off out than in IYKWIM?
