To Amy, and any other UK pcos ers.

Amy - congratulations on getting metformin in the UK! Which hospital do you go to for this?

I had a gynaecology appointment yesterday which only revolved around which Pill I should be on. I asked about insulin resistance, but got a vague response about links with type II diabetes later in life. When I asked about any other types of treatment, different Pills were listed!

I had hoped this would be an opportunity to update my treatment (which is currently Pill + cyproterone acetate) but it wasn't to be.

I'm thinking of asking my GP to refer elsewhere, so would be interested to know who is treating you.

Hope you can help!
