my obgyn is a pcos specialist and is very well versed in met/pcos. there
are actually MANY pcos women with "normal" insulin levels who have
success with met. i was actually the leery one--he insisted i try it!
as you know, many different doctors read/interpret results differently.
what's normal to one is high to another.
hope that helps--please write back if you have more questions!
