After a very emotional and frustrating doctors appointment, ive started metformin...just half a pill a day for 4 days, then starting half a pill twice a day starting tomorrow. Stomach isnt doing great, lack of appetite too...but hoping it gets better. Fingers crossed 🀞

Yes! I wasn't pre-diabetic but I've been on & off of metformin for 9 years. It's helpful with maintaining weight & regulating blood sugar of course, but I will def prewarn you that your stomach may be super sensitive to it.

Not the case for all women but it tore my stomach up no matter what I ate, so I had to get off of it.

I was borderline, my aic was like 5.9

I take metformin and my a1c is down to 4.9 regularly.

my Endo in December put me on Ozempic to see if it would help with the recent development of Insulin Resistance - so far it hasn't helped lower my levels or bring my A1C into range - but time will tell, been living with PCOS since 1986.
