Hi, I have got your query.
High postprandial blood sugar indicates the you are having gestational diabetes. Please get yourself thoroughly investigated for diabetes by glucose tolerance test.
Glycomet is metformin which helps to bring down the blood sugar levels by increasing the tissues sensitivity to the insulin.
Fasting blood sugar more than 160 does ask for anti-diabetic medicines. Therefore you are prescribed Glycomet. If with it sugar is not controlled, you may require insulin also.
I hope, you got the answer to your query.
