He rechecks it quarterly as a precaution. >I was taking glucophage because I have been diagnosed as insulin Resistance my doctor checked my blood quarterly and every time I would have to stop the glucophage retest my blood because my liver functions would be elivated this happened for an entire year they would go down then I would start taking glucophage again then stop,then start then stop etc....now I am off it totally because of that happening,my insulin levels even went back up in just one quarter.all I have left is diet and exercise where I have started from before which obviously didn't work because of pcos.I am 36 and only have 1 child who is 8.I want more children .
