Interesting.

Like KYB pointed out, I'm grateful that someone made the connection that PCOS is an insulin issue. I can see the danger in a totally unsupervised use of the drug, but my Dr monitors me every 6 months to make sure everything is fine with me. Thorough supervision is an absoloute on this med.

Check out this article on off-label uses-it really clarifies why of label uses are legal and when they are safe.
