Stupid
I'm a greedy pig
i was 27 on 13th march 2009:wave_cry::wave_cry::wave_cry:[sorry i keep saying my age].
i posted in previous threads that due to my ovaries not working right i rarely if ever get totm.
anyway due to my ovaries not working right i have low oestrogen levels at times . as a result i am apparently at increased risk of osteoporosis:cry: and found out just before christmas i have reduced bone density in my hip[which could develop into osteoporosis if not treated]
my gp started me on Bonviva about 2 and a half months ago and i presume its working so i don't need to worry about ostoporosis but if metaformin would help me lose weight while preventing me getting osteoporosis[since i read it sorts out hormone imbalances and it would be hormone imbalance that is causing me to be at risk of osteoporosis ]and stop me getting diabetes it would solve several problems / worries at once
anyway i have read here that metaformin can help hormone imbalances, reduce blood sugar levels and help people lose weight..which sounds good to me
i was wondering if maybe my gp could prescribel me metformin to prevent osteoporosis and help me lose weight and stop me getting diabetes[i apparentlly have normal fasting blood glucose but i crave sugar and eat too much sugar and have too many fizzy drinks and am constantly thirsty so worry i have or will develop diabetes ]
i must say i have not got pcos(and i also have normal fasting blood glucose so not technically a diabetic but worry i will get it and aim to lose weight to reduce my risk of it]
[i have not being tested for pcos...its another medical condition that causes my hormone imbalance ]so i wonder if thats why my drs never mentioned metaformin to me
for better or worse i was discharged from my gynaecologist a year ago[due to not been on treatment at the time and did not appear to need treatment for my hormone imbalance]
...i was sent[when i checked when i was due for one] for a bone scan before christmas and got the results[mixed] and the gynaecologist wrote to me to go back to my gp for treatment to stop me getting osteoeoporois so can't ask about this[if metaformin would stop me getting osteoporosis+ help me lose weight and stop me getting diabetes..]
sorry for being so horrible ..just wondering as i see alot of people on here who have these problems[albeit different conditions causing the problems]that i wanted to see what others make of this
stupid me..i am no dr let alone gynaecologist so should i ask my gp if metaformin would help deal with my situation...bonviva i imagine is helping my bones a lot but i don't think it helps blood sugar levels or weight loss
any advice
