I've been reading a lot about the inositols (DCI and Myo) and how they can be a useful alternative to metformin. I asked my doctor, and she'd never even heard of them before (a bit discouraging).

I was wondering the same thing. I’ve been taking all three but I’m horrible at taking it routinely. That’s probably why I haven’t noticed anything different.

I was taking the small packets daily, pink ones. Just bc all the research said it’s good to reduce inflammation. But I’m not good at taking it everyday. I do take a B-12 & Vit D everyday. Along w a high protein diet, low carb.
