No, no, no ... I'm not a doctor. Sorry if I gave that impression. The information I posted was from the Hormone Help Center in NY. I found it to be very informative and thought I would share it with everyone else. One of the mods thought it interesting enough to be a sticky so she made it into one.
I am not currently taking metformin and never have although I've tried to get on it. My last doctor refused to prescribe it for me unless I was trying to get pregnant even thought my three hour glucose fasting test showed me to be borderline diabetic/insulin resistant. He said I would be full blown diabetic eventually and have to take meds so I should enjoy this time of not having to take any meds. I was shocked to say the least and needless to say, I have not been back to see him.
I see an endocrinologist for the first time on 2/16 and am hoping she will prescribe the metformin.
