Hey ladies... so I saw my OB last week and was talking about my evening FS. For whatever reason I have been having difficulty keeping my numbers under 120 if I eat a late lunch or at dinner time. Unless I am at work where I am constantly moving around (I’m an ER nurse) carbs seem to be my enemy later in the day.

My OB gave me 2 options... cut out carbs completely at dinner and eat an earlier lunch always or go on Metformin. I am currently trialing the no carbs later in the day this week and see my OB next week to discuss. I will be 29 weeks on Sunday and this is my second pregnancy with GD. My question to you all is have you been out on Metformin? Did it help? Side effects? Any complications? I was diet controlled the first time and even though I am a nurse I’m still nervous about taking diabetic meds during pregnancy since I had a preterm delivery with my first, but at the same time welcome the decrease in stressing about my numbers.
