HI Cathy , I was told that she couldn't be on the pill,aldactone and glucophage at the same time. this is all very confusing but we choose to deal with the insulin resistance problem first and hope that everything would fall in to place. A second opinion sounds like a good idea to me.

Thanks again, marian
