Default Thanks for posting, Kim.

It sounds like you are doing everything right...just a matter of time. Good for you for making the connection of exercise and diet and not just relying on the drug. I was on the drug for 13 months before I saw my labs really do some serious dropping.

By eating "sensibly" do you mean low to moderate carb? That aspect really helped the metformin to work for me because it helps to moderate the insulin and avoid high insulin spikes.

You also didn't mention what your dosage was...that can be key.

Be patient..your hormones didn't get whacked out overnight and it really does take time.

All the best!
