Metformin vs Insulin

Neha

I am extremely disappointed by being diagnosed with GD at 22 weeks. I was asked to track my 1 hr post meal numbers. The numbers are usually higher than 130 ng/dl. I tested fasting numbers only once. It came out to be 79.

Dr has prescribed me 500 Metformin post lunch and post dinner.

I am feeling extremely low. I have had a very long battle with fertility. With 5 miscarriages in the past 5 years. This is an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> pregnancy. I am on blood thinners due to another complications. Expecting twins, so already high risk category.

This is getting all too much to handle.

I read that metformin crosses the placenta. Do you guys know what is safer? Metformin or Insulin?
