A combination therapy of metformin, diet, exercise and PPC in patients with type 2 diabetes was more effective than metformin, diet and exercise alone. The same was the case for the combination therapy of PPC with UDCA. No relevant side-effects were reported.

Metformin is considered the first line of treatment for diabetes, so it is very common to be prescribed by the doctors.
Metformin works on the liver, where it inhibits the liver from leaking out too much sugar in the blood stream, also it makes the cells more sensitive to the insulin...therefore helping with sugar control.
Metformin does have side effects such as stomach upset, cramping, diarrhea.
I had IVF 2 years ago to concieve my DS who is now 16 months old .. Ijust did my second FET on 12/3. I take metformin for my PCOS which helps me loose weight and with the cysts on my ovaries. YOu should definitely go to your OBGYN and if they diagnose you with PCOS you should go see an RE to help you concieve. There are some women who get put on metformin and their periods return .. That does not happen for me bc I have a severe case.
Then I realized I can control it with oral drugs, so I changed insuline to actoplus and metformin 15/850 twice a day. Now, my A1C has been keeping at range 5.8-6.2 for the past 2 years. I read some paper about MODY a few days ago. Now I am worrying about if I have MODY. I am 29 now. I am the only one with diabetes in my family history. I am overweighted and my BMI is 2.75. Both actoplus and metformin work very well for me. Will you please give me any advice if I should go to do MODY tests?
Interesting copyman. I have to ponder what the dosage of Metformin would be for those who are not insulin resistant or have type 2 diabetes. My husband takes etformin for type 2 diabetes. It controls his glucose levels well and of course without it his reading are very high. Granted he takes (4) 500 mg per day. Wondering if even low doses of Metformin would make someone without IR or diabetes hypoglycemic and if not would low dose Metformin be effective is halting virus replication.
Can you go vegan after say, 6 months, after you, hopefully, will be taking off metformin? Even after you are off metformin you still have to watch for carbs like everybody else.

I know 2 ppl who are/were on metformin.
One guy, had a good doctor who gave him good advice, and in 6 months later he was diabet2 free and, what's more, presently doesn't take any medicine for diabetes.
I have a regular cycle which varies from 30-35 days and have no other symptom like acne, excessive hair growth or obesity. My doc put me on Metformin so i have started it since the past month but i am still confused if i actually have PCOS or not. Also if i could get any diet suggestions which could improve the chances of conceiving.
Hi all - I'm a 23 y/o female who recently lost 100lbs to sit at a current weight of 240lbs. I was diagnosed with PCOS in my late teens but the diagnosis was removed last year since I've never had elevated androgens or cysts in my ovaries. I am however insulin resistant. I also didn't respond to Metformin. At 23, I've only had 2 periods, 1 that was natural and 1 that was forced with progesterone because my endomentrium was 18mm thick.
I was put on Metformin to help regulate my Insulin and told to stay away from concentrated sweets. I guess I am a little concerned about this since I am fairly young. Could something other than dietary habits be causing this fluctuation in my blood sugar?
Also you can consult your doctor and start the medical treatment for PCOS comprising of Metformin and Diane.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

If the doc has her on a steroid based medication that could be another reason for the weight gain but long term becoming obese is never a good thing for anyone. My vote would be for either you or your mom to contact the doc who diagnosed the angina, tell them what is going on and get their advice on how much activity she will be able to do in having the angina and not setting it off.
