In reply to: Victoria: "Need Glucosamine/IR research" Next in thread: Renee: "Re: Need Glucosamine/IR research" Hi Victoria, For a couple months now, I have been taking Metformin, a generic of Glucophage, to treat my PCOS. As it was explained to me, Metformin is given to men and women with diabetes, but it was shown to help ovaries be less polycystic in women with PCOS. Although there were some side effects in the beginning (diarrhea), they have lessened now. There's a good site from a hospital that is doing a study on it...here's the link. Hope this is what you are looking for and that you find it useful. It's geared more towards women w/ PCOS who are TTC. http://blues.fd1.uc.edu/~gartsips/polycyst.htm#faq Mary Upstate NY At Fri, 20 Sep 2002, Victoria wrote: > >Hi, > >I know some people take Glucosamine (of some form, but what I can't remember) because it supposedly helps with PCOS. I had someone on another group post the following links regarding glucosamine and insulin resistance. Can someone who has done some scientific research in this, either post or send me privately the research so I can look over this? If memory serves, glucosamine (or one of the derivatives) was not supposed to cause problems with insulin resistance. > >Thanks, > >-- >Victoria > >http://home.iatronet.net/papers/glucosamine.htm >http://www.escribe.com/pets/doghealth2/m1736.html >http://www.escribe.com/pets/doghealth2/m1719.html > Next message: Barb: "Re: alternative therapies..."
