Re: PCOS/Metformin/Glucophage

[Guest guest]

Digest Number 2677I have PCOS, too, and I'm still trying to

bring my PCP up to speed on treatment for me (along with monitoring my WLS

stuff) . He did just start me on Metformin (generic Glucophage), and I've

found that it *does* help me with my cravings. Getting the insulin under

control does seem to help with the phantom cravings.

And the battle goes on.... =)

pandy

who appreciates all the talk of comfort foods, cuz it's caused her to lose

her appetite (the last straw was p/b on BLT...BLECH!!!! and I thought Mom

was bad with her celery.....ugh ugh ugh!! LoL) =)))))

>>>>>Another problem some of us " morbidly obese " experience is we might have

had

PolySysticOvaries which affects insulin. The treatment for this condition

is medicine which regulates insulin. Again, I have never been diagnosed

with this condition but my Endo thinks I have all the symptoms with the

exception of my blood pressure has always been very low. Hoping this info

might help some of you, M.
