Re: Not sure what course of action to take for PCOS (long posting) From: Belle (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 31 Mar 2000 10:12:06 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: A: "Re: Not sure what course of action to take for PCOS (long posting)" Previous message: Belle: "Re: Two Met questions - bcp's and side effects.

I am sorry. The study 18 years ago was on insulin resistance and PCOS. This may still help you though. We use met for insulin resistance. You will find the study on the PCOSupport home page. They have a link to journal articles which lists TONS of research articles. http://www.pcosupport.org You can also go to Dr. Glueck's page http://blues.fd1.uc.edu/~gartsips/polycyst.htm Actually, met is not approved here for anything other than diabetes. That is why we spend so much time trying to get our insulin levels drawn. If we can prove that our insulin is not functioning properly, we usually have no problems getting the met. There are a few drs who are learning that the research indicates that most (if not all) PCOS victims have some sort of insulin imbalance and met will help us with ovulation, acne, weight loss, lower testosterone, etc. Met has been proven safe for use by its long record. If this does not help, let me know. At Fri, 31 Mar 2000, anonymous@obgyn.net wrote: > >Belle >You mention a study on Met which started 18 years ago. Could you please tell me, were the subjects of the study diabetics? I am in the UK and my doctor has advised that Met is only used for diabetes and is not licensed here for any other condition. However, she says she will try to find out more about it, because she had not heard of it being used for non-diabetic PCOSers. This study might be what Im looking for. > >Tks & rgds >Sam Phillips -- Hope this helps, Belle Next message: A: "Re: Not sure what course of action to take for PCOS (long posting)" Previous message: Belle: "Re: Two Met questions - bcp's and side effects.
