At that stage of pregnancy the only safe medicine is Insulin. It is not the time to try oral drugs. Please get your six blood sugar levels done and consult with your Gynaecologist who may like to refer you to a Diabetologist for the proper control of Diabetes.

You need to be worried about the sugar levels rather than the side effects of gluconom
You need to follow a strict diabetic diet and take the medicine advised
Measure your sugar levels and maintain fasting sugars less than 95 and post lunch sugar less than 140
