Thank you so much for all your replies, this place is wonderful! I am not taking the met with the intent of pregnancy (yet) as I am too overweight and feel it is not the right time for a baby, not until I am fit and healthy. My consultant was happy for me to take Met anyway as a means of reversing other symptoms, hair, cysts in groin ect (yuk yuk). When I mentioned Cambridge to him he wasn't very happy about it, but only because he has issues with the way it is made, he said count calories, eat healthy (everything I know) and went into a healthy eating talk at the mention of the diet. The most confusing thing for me is that last time I saw him he was happy for me to use cambridge and he has obviously since changed his mind, therefore I am unsure whether it is the case that metaformin & cambridge do not mix or that he is just now not a fan of the diet. It is unfortunate that last time I saw him due to other circumstances I was unable to start the Met when I was supposed to. So confused. He is a really lovely doctor and has been good to me but I felt I couldn't probe him any further on the cambridge thing, esp as there were 3 other docs in the room all staring at me like I had 3 heads (student docs) !
