Question
Can diabetic patients continue to use metformin when considering pregnancy? If not, what are the alternative medications or treatment options?
Answer
Diabetic patients should consult a specialist doctor to adjust their medication treatment plan before planning for pregnancy. Metformin is a commonly used antidiabetic drug that is generally considered safe for the fetus, but in some cases, a change in medication treatment may be necessary. The doctor will evaluate the patient’s specific blood sugar control situation and provide appropriate advice and supervision.
