Brief Answer:
Metformin will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The increase in blood sugar levels after meals can be controlled by taking Metformin 500 mg twice a day. Fenugreek seeds and flax seeds will also help but this will not help in the long term as the sugar levels need a strict control. Metformin will also help in improvement of insulin resistance and metabolic disturbance associated with PCOD. Do consult your gynecologist and get it prescribed.
I hope this answers your query.

Fenugreek seeds should not be consumed in bulk during pregnancy. These herbs have not been properly studied during pregnancy and its effect on fetus are not known. It is best to avoid taking these once you conceive.
