HI,thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can still become pregnant. It would be important to keep your blood sugars under good control.
This would increase your chance of conceiving and also help to ensure that there are no complications during pregnancy.
When you do conceive, your doctors will discontinue the meformin and control your blood sugars with lifestyle measures and insulin if necessary.
In terms of diet, blood sugars are increased by the use of high amounts of carbohydrates.
You can consider reducing the use of any sodas or fruit juices, use water instead
. You can use increased amounts of vegetables and fruits,at least 5 servings a day.
Exercise would also be beneficial.
I hope this helps
