Hi in taking met 500mg x2 a day, sugar levels are still high. Consultant told me to take 2-3 a day, but on just 2 in feeling light headed. Im 36'5 weeks. Anyone got any advise?

I was on 4 a day with no symptoms. Sounds like you need insulin (I had to be switched at 8 weeks with my twins).

I might call my midwife tomorrow see what she thinks. Iv lost weight where I've been eating well, just don't understand why its getting higher when im taking more lol.

It is very common and even expected for our sugars to go up as pregnancy progresses so try not to worry that it is something you are doing wrong. They will probably put you on a higher dosage or switch to insulin. When you get the light headed feeling have you checked your sugar level?

what's your fasting blood sugar level?
