Of course I remember your posts! There have been many cysters who have said that they really saw a difference once they started eating more of a moderate to lower carb diet, even if they don't take met. For we who have PCOS, we have this weird aversion to carbs...we love them, but they don't love us back. Using a lower carb diet (doesn't necessarily have to be Atkins), in conjunction with the met may help get things back in order for you. Keep in mind this may not work right away for everyone, but just doing all you can to avoid a lot of sugars and highly refined and high carb foods can help. The carbs cause your insulin to spike (the old familiar "candy bar crash"), and it is when your sugar level hits bottom that you're hungry again. If you eat more protein in your diet instead of carbs, it will have the effect of keeping your sugar levels more stable, and avoid those low sugar binges. Exercise helps lower insulin resistance, as well as eating more low carb, and in turn, this helps the met do all it can do for you.
Isitmytime: for me, met will be a lifetime drug. I am not a pill popper, but the benefits of health I have received from it far outweigh the inconvenience of having to take a pill. Losing the weight will help me to keep my IR under control, but IR never goes away completely...it will always be there a little even when I am thin...it will just be more under control, and I will not have to obsess over everything I eat. Also, by treating the disorder now, I have lessened the chance that my condition will develop into full blown diabetes later in life.
