>DEBBIE,

I printed EVERYTHING on this website that I could find and took it to my family doctor who is a DO. He had virtually no questions about it and said I really did my homework. He looked up the dosage to concur with what the website info had and agreed with it. He said gluco. makes perfect sense for PCO patients and he was happy to get the info and happy to help me control my PCOS! He is a wonderful man and not one to rush into meds, so I know he felt totally comfortable with it. I hope you find a Dr. who is willing to help you. If you were anywhere near Dallas, I would give you his name - he's excited to help some of his current patients who are possible PCO 'ers too. Good luck, you will find someone, it may take time. By the way, my insurance had no problem paying for it because my Dr. gave specific info to the pharmacy as to why I was on it - they paid all but my co-pay! Jeri Smith
