Usually Obimet is given only when you have diabetes diagnosed by OGTT or if you had PCOS. Usually it is o=not given only when the parents have diabetes. Your OGTT is normal. Therefore, if you did not have PCOS, you can safely stop it now.

Please don't take obimet unless you have deranged sugars which you don't have at the moment. Stop the drug as your ogtt is fine. Get a repeat ogtt at 32-34 weeks and if that's fine no need to take any such drug just because your parents have diabetes.
