Metformin, a commonly used oral hypoglycemic agent, has been increasingly considered as an alternative or adjunctive treatment to insulin for managing GDM. This systematic review examines the efficacy, safety, and clinical implications of metformin in the management of GDM, synthesizing findings from recent studies to provide a comprehensive overview of its role in this context.</p> 2024-09-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 THE STETHO
