Are there any side effects of taking Glycomet SR 500 for diabetes during pregnancy, and what are the risks if my blood sugar is still high at 170 and my doctor has not yet prescribed insulin?
Glycomet SR (metformin) is commonly used and generally considered safe during pregnancy, with low risk of harm to your baby. However, keeping your blood sugar well-controlled is very important for both your health and your baby's development. A reading of 170 mg/dL is elevated, and while your doctor evaluates your progress, they may be monitoring your patterns before deciding to start insulin.
