Hi. How far along are you? And what are your usual reading after meal. The doc prescribed you metformin to protect you from developing it badly later. I am on metformin and gonna be induce on Monday, at 37+2 it really helps

I was a GDM too but my gynae did not prescribed any medicine for it. I only had to prick to test for blood sugar level and control intake of sugar and carbs.

Metformin is a drug for diabetes, should be pteg safe.. Whether the doc prescribe it may depend on your blood sugar levels
