Metformin is not a 'must have' medication for women with pcos.
Permanent changes in lifestyle
ARE must-haves.
Increased physical activity will have an immediate impact on her insulin resistance, and perhaps even on her mood. Metformin is not a 'weight loss' drug, however, physical activity can help with weight loss and a lot more.
I'm not 'anti metformin' by any stretch, but I think it's important to have some perspective on it's role in pcos treatment.
