I am on a diet for 4 days now. My fasting number is always 99 or 100, and 1hr. after lunch or dinner ranges from 120-135. 😔

I am going to see the doctor this Friday (a new one, because my first doctor actually insisted on insulin right away, and I just begged her to put me on a diet first.), and I am hoping this new doctor will put me on metformin if needed instead of insulin (I really don't want to inject myself everyday. Sigh.)

My question is, is metformin safe for pregnant woman? I tried to research it, but get loads of contradicting stuff about it. Some say it's okay, some say it's not. (Like my previous doctor. Insisting on insulin.)

I really don't want to take medication as much as I can. I've been dieting, and exercising, and praying... But it seems not to work. I need to convinced my new doctor somehow to prescribe metformin instead...
