Has anyone with pcos been tested to see if they are insulin resistant? Somebody mentioned the use of metformin to help with this and wondered if anyone has any info?
 
You'd need to talk to your doctor about it - I have severe PCOS and was on metformin for a while a few years ago. I lost some weight on it (in combination with Atkins) but it caused me nasty stomach upsets so I stopped it.
 
Thanks ML. I saw her today but just wanted other peoples opinions really. I've been started on one tablet a day and she said to build up to three as and when I feel like it as she said it could cause me tummy problems amongst other symptoms. Will just have to wait and see how I feel!
