But Jay & Betsy beat me to it. Cause you don't diagnose insulin resistance with these tests. If it looks like PCOS, it is PCOS unless you have another explanation. Metformin numerous benefits that will for many promote long term health benefits. Please read the original metformin papers and you will see that in none of those papers was fasting insulin levels an issue. If you insist on wanting to see abnormal values, the two hour insulin level above 50 is the best indicator. But when correlated with clamp studies, LDL and TG elevations were strong predictors. -- Mark Perloe, M.D. <http://www.ivf.com/>Georgia Reproductive Specialists 5445 Meridian Mark Rd, Suite 270, Atlanta, GA 30342 404-843-2229 Live <http://www.tcoyf.com/mytcoyf/login.asp>Chat Monday evenings 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET Next message: Mark Perloe: "Re: ERT/HRT- personal prescribing trend" Previous message: Mark Perloe: "Re: Gyn: PCO" In reply to: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Re: Gyn: PCO" Next in thread: Charlie Chambers: "Re: Gyn: PCO" Reply: Charlie Chambers: "Re: Gyn: PCO" Reply: Garry E.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
