Hello, looks like your sugar is well under control based on hba1c level. Hba1c less than 7% denotes good control but you need to check fbs, ppbs level and let me know!

Your Hba1c shows that your control is good. Please note that Metformin has helped you to lower your sugar and don't stop it. You have gestational diabetes and that's why metformin has been started. For some gestational diabetes may reverse after delivery and for some it will continue.

Hba1c of 5.6 is borderline and also you are under medication. We can have a controlled trial of weaning off your medication and see if the blood glucose level sustain. However it should be under proper guidance, so you can have an online consult with me regarding the same.
