Will taking Glycomet SR for high blood sugar during pregnancy cause my body to become dependent on the medicine, and will I be able to easily stop taking it after I give birth?
Glycomet SR (metformin) is not habit-forming, and your body will not become dependent on it. It works simply by helping your body use its own insulin more effectively to manage blood sugar. After you give birth, your hormone levels will shift, and your blood sugar may naturally return to normal. Most women can safely and easily stop or adjust this medication postpartum under their doctor's guidance. Your healthcare team will monitor you to ensure a smooth transition.
