Yes, glycomet is a safe drug for gestational diabetes. And your body will not be used to the medicines because that time the insulin in the body will work om its own and your sugars will come down to normal.
Next Steps
Start walking as part of exercise atleast half an hour walk per day. Take care.
Health Tips
If you have a family history of diabetes or you are overweight, you need to monitor sugars after delivery but mostly it comes in normal levels.
