I had this problem as well. I went on glucophage even though my tests were normal, and it helped for awhile, and then stopped.

Before you jump to conclusions, have your endocrinologist do some additional testing. How about the 24 hour urine test that measures the cortisol output by your adrenal glands. High levels of cortisol can also be a culprit to sugar/insulin problems and pcos symptoms.

There may be some other issues too. Get a good doctor and figure out exactly what is wrong before you take medication.
