Hi
I was informed earlier in my pregnancy that it is quite standard for Type 1s to be commenced on Metformin at some point in their pregnancy and it seems my time has come.
My nurse gave me quite a bit of info over the phone around the number of studies showing it is safe and does not transfer to the baby. However, she didn't answer my question around how long I will be on it. My worry is that once I'm on it, they will be hesitant to take me off it again.
Does anyone have any experience around this?
I'm also concerned about the gastric effects. My pregnancy is already filled with unsettled stomachs and bloat and other rather unglamorous symptoms.
Thanks
