help! metformin
My Dr put me on metformin about a year ago but refused to tell me why I was on it so I didn't take it.... what does metformin do and what is it supposed to treat? I feel like I've made a huge mistake by not taking it
He never said I had pcos just that my hormones were a little off.. that's all but when I asked what the met was for he said to just take it... I never did now I wish I would have
Metformin is for individuals who are insulin resistant. I have been taking Metformin since January when I was diagnosed with PCOS. The Metformin helps to regulate my insulin, and in turn, it helps me to ovulate. PCOS leads to issues ovulating regularly or on your own. Being insulin resistant does not mean that I am diabetic, just the issue with my ovaries and ovulation.
