Metformin
At what point were people started on Metformin? I had four fasting readings over the target range last week and my midwife said we’ll review next week.. this week I’ve had three over the target range (mostly fasting levels). Fasting target is 5.5, mine have been sitting at 5.6-5.8, some days 4.8ish. Last NHS scan baby was 74th percentile two weeks ago, happened to have a private 4D scan a couple of days ago and baby is now 95th percentile. I really felt I should start metformin but she said not yet. Any thoughts?

My fasting has been a bit high so they’ve recommended metformin even though the rest of my numbers are fine and diet controlled. Not sure on growth scan as I’ve got that next week so haven’t seen baby since 20 weeks
After a week I of trying diet I eas then started on metformin for about 4 weeks and it didn't work with my fasting levels so I started on insulin xxx

With my first they gave me a week to try diet controlled which didn't work then I started Metformin. Then they upped the dose every week if it didn't improve till I was put on insulin. With my 2nd and 3rd I was put on Metformin straight away and insulin a week later x
