Default anyone on met who DOESN'T have IR??

Um, yeah so that's my question. My doc said that my insulin levels were in the normal range, but on the high end of the normal range. I *thought* i had IR, i was diagnosed with it about a year ago, but now i guess i don't, and i have really been wanting to try met can i still?

Default No diagnosed IR for me

My fasting was 5 but something sure goes haywire if I have "any" carbohydrates, (except vegetables). I was a miserable blood sugar mess before Met. I hope your doctor will let you try it. It has been a miracle drug for me!

My RE says I'm not IR even though I've never had a fasting glucose. On my request she prescribed 1500mg of Met.
