I too specifically started taking Met for low blood sugar.
In my teens I used to have all kinds of crazy episodes where I would faint, shake, etc after either a high-ish carb meal or going too long w/o eating (more than 2.5hrs). Insane. How is one supposed to stay "thin in order to manage PCOS" if she has to eat that frequently in order to stay conscious??
Anyways.
Yes, Met helped me. I am WAAAAY less hungry, and i have not had a low blood sugar episode in months. In fact I can sometimes go up to 6hrs in between meals w/o any real horrible side effects. I'm not saying that is healthy, but sometimes life is such where you can't eat regularly...and now that I'm taking Met, this was not the end of the world that it would have been before starting met treatment.
That's my 2cents.
