 Alternative to Metformin?
I have been diagnosed with PCOD and insulin resistance...my doctor has advised me to take metformin but Im not too convinced with these medications....once i stop them ill be back to square 1 so I'd rather go with something herbal and has no side effects. Plus I've heard that these medications are not apt for long-term use as it can severely damage your body and Im too scared to do that!!!!
I'm planning on taking Vitex capsules twice a day as a substitute for the birth control pill, drink lots of spearmint tea, do exercise but what should I do about the insulin resistance?
Is there any diet that would lower my insulin levels...heard about the low glycemic diet but need some further insight..can someone help pls?
Thanks!!!! |
