Next in thread: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Metformin anyone?" Reply: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Metformin anyone?" Dear Stacey, MET helps the body use insulin properly. A person with hyperinsulinemia (what PCOS women have) can't absorb insulin very well so the body doesn't know it's made enough insulin and just keeps pumping it out. The huge amount of insulin causes lots of problems one of which is excess wear and tear on the pancreas. Eventually the pancreas will fail, and full blown Type I Diabetes occurs. That means insulin shots, blindness, heat disease and all the other "goodies" associated with it. ALso lowering insulin levels seems to help with balancing estrogen/progeterone levels and may help to conceive. There's not much info on this yet but keep a look out for it. In conclusion, MET's influence on insulin can have many health benefits. Donna, NC At Thu, 27 Jul 2000, anonymous@obgyn.net wrote: > >But what do you think that Met will do for you?
