Hey! Welcome! First of all, I am 5'4" and weight 145lb my bmi is around 24. I have insulin resistance too! My doctor suggested a low glycemic index diet (gi) which is a diabetic where you cut out all simple carbs like white rice, white bread, white pasta...and eat complex carbs like whole wheat stuff. It made my blood test go from shoing i had insulin resistance to showing no signs of it with one month of this diet. I am not really hard core dieting any more, I am just aware of what I am eating, I always opt to have whole wheat pasta and so on. Also stay away from the sweets, having them every now and then is alright, just dont be munching on candy every day! I have never taken metaformin, but from what I have read from other women's experiences on here, it seems to make you feel bad. If you dont need it, id suggest dont take it! That goes for any medication, especially if dieting is the alternative. As for being on birthcontrol, I don't think that is the correct answer because it is just masking the problem.
