A follow‐up of a randomised study of metformin and insulin in gestational diabetes mellitus: growth and development of the children at the age of 18 months

Abstract

Children prenatally exposed to metformin were heavier at the 12 months measurements and taller and heavier at the 18 months measurements than those exposed to insulin, but their body composition defined by PI did not differ. Over the short term, metformin does not seem to be harmful with regards to early motor, linguistic, or social development.
