###Human: How to control blood sugar levels post pregnancy? ###Assistant: Hi. Women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. They are diagnosed at an earlier age with this condition. It is a state of insulin resistance. In post-pregnancy, she can have high blood sugar values, especially in post-meal up to six weeks and even up to 12 weeks. If she has a family history of diabetes type 2, she is at high risk of developing it too. In hormone imbalance state, the risk doubles. At this point, I would recommend taking Metformin 500 mg twice daily at least for three months. She should take a healthy diet with low starch and high protein. Doing exercise can also help to lose weight. Diet and exercise help a lot. Monitor blood sugar levels weekly thrice in the fasting period in the morning before breakfast, in post lunch and post-dinner or before bedtime. Keep a track while taking Metformin and the doctor can adjust the medicine. Diet and exercise can reverse the condition, or it can push it to ten years forwards.
