If it's not fully effective, your doctor will likely consider a few safe steps: gradually increasing your metformin dose, reviewing your daily diet and exercise habits, or potentially adding another supportive medication. Please continue taking your medication as prescribed and schedule a follow-up with your doctor to safely adjust your treatment plan. You've got this, and we will get your levels on track together!

Type 2 diabetes is naturally progressive. Over time, the body's pancreas produces less insulin, which often requires medication adjustments to keep your blood sugar stable. This is a natural part of the condition's progression, not a sign that your body is resistant to the medicine or that you are doing anything wrong. To safely manage or potentially reduce your dosage of medications like metformin, continue your healthy habits and work closely with your doctor. They can safely adjust your treatment plan based on your lab results. Please never alter your dose on your own.

During pregnancy, target blood sugars are typically under 95 mg/dL before meals and under 120 to 140 mg/dL after eating. Your reading of 143 after eating is only slightly above this range.

Your lining will also naturally thicken as the egg matures. You are progressing well, and ovulation will likely occur in about 5 to 7 days (around cycle days 17 to 19).
