Hey,

I'm 19 weeks 2nd pregnancy.
On Metformin 1g twice a day humalog with every meal and then levimir at night although I anticipate that with change to twice a day like it did last time. Im afraid I have never been on Diamicron. Pre conception I saw a high risk obstetrician who reviewed all my drugs to let me know what ones I needed to change. Now I see that high risk obstetrician and a diabetic consultant every 2 weeks who review everything.
I'm sure your gynaecologist is fully aware and informed but you should start seeing the people very soon and very regularly

Diamicron is better known as gliclazide. Have a read of this http://www.nhs.uk/medicine-guides/pages ... %20tablets and speak to your GP if you are still worried
