Re: A QUESTION ABOUT METFORMIN

[Guest guest]

Glomer,I know some women use Metformin to regulate their cycles and help with Insulin Resistance and PCOS, but I've never heard of it being used to help with yeast -- but that doesn't mean it can't *grin*. Do you have problems with irregular cycles or insulin resistance? Hang in there...~Chelleglomer1977 wrote: Hi ,Thanks for thinking of me!

Hi Chelle,

I do have insulin resistance and my doctor thinks that may be _part_ of why I'm

so prone

to yeast. I emailed her last night asking if she thought metformin might help

and she said

it's worth a shot. If it helps, I will certainly let folks know!

Take care,

Glomer
