Welcome to SC! I have PCOS, but without the cysts. I also have IR. Be sure you have a blood test to check Insulin levels. If they are elevated, you are at higher risk for developing diabetes. The glucophage should help with the insulin levels as well as help you lose weight. In fact IR is one of the reasons we have trouble losing weight so don't get frustrated if it takes a little while for the weight to start coming off. I was just taken off my glucophage because I had a hypoglycemic reaction to it so unfortunately I am back at square one. Be sure to also check the glucophage boards to find out ways to combat the tummy upsets that the glucophage can cause the first couple of weeks. Again...welcome! |
