First choice for GDM is metformin to be taken 10-15 min before meal if no gastric issues
If feel nausea or any gastric upset
Take it after meals
Only Metformin sometimes is not sufficient to control blood sugar so next thing is insulin
As during pregnancy we have to maintain very good control of blood sugars
In addition please consult a dietician for medical nutrition therapy and light exercise to be followed to during pregnancy
Best you a Healthy happy pregnancy
