There's only one major doctor I know that says no. I've asked and gotten no response on what research he's using for this. Diabetics get the pill, and most diabetics take anti diabetic meds. I have had PCOS since my late teens (I am now 32) and have only used BCPs to help symptoms. I want to see if metformin makes a difference. >> You would need to get off the BCP if you want to see if Metformin makes a difference. Also-what is the best argument to persuade my doctor to put me on metformin if he objects based on negative results to insuling resistance? >> If you've not had fasting insulin or GTT tests with insulin being taken, I'd see about getting that first. I've got lots of Metformin research articles on my webpages (http://nicho_v.tripod.com). You can also try checking for Dr. John Nestler, Dr. Mark Perloe, Dr. Charles Glueck on a search engine for their Metformin work.
