Hi heather, 2 post in a row that make me want to find mean doctors and tell them off!!!What a jerk!!! I had a dietitian tell me that there was no way I could be eating what I said I was and still gain weight. Basically calling me a liar. If you can find another doctor I would highly suggest it with a letter to your present one telling him what you think of him. If you are stuck with him, as many of us can be, you'll have to live with it. If you have blood tests make sure that you "carb-up" 2-3 days before the test. I'm sure this idiot wont tell you to do that. Eat lots of bad carbs(sugar, pop, pasta ect..). It will show up on your tests. If you are low carbing when you do a blood sugar test it can effect the results and not in a way to get metformin Rx to you. The bad carbs put stress on your system and it should show up on the test. SInce met I have lost 40 pounds and have ate more than I ever have.

I had better stop this post before 4 letter words that are coming into my head get in here. I do have a suggestion. If met works for you as well as it has for me, write a letter to him anyway. DOnt tell him off because he might not give you anymore met. But do tell him how you feel about his treatment of you. It might help the next girl that comes in for help.

I eat a very low carb, low fat diet, and have recently cut out almost all carbs. I also work out at the gym at least five nights a week lifting weights and doing cardio and play tennis several times a week. >I was very disappointed with my doctors visit. He is very knowledgable about treatments of PCOS, but when I told him my weight problems, he looked at me sarcasticly, and said "you and I both know if I had to slide your food under that door, you would lose weight. People do starve to death. I personally rode my bike all summer and only lost five lbs." He basicly told me to stop overeating. I was very depressed. He doesnt believe a word I said, I could see it in his eyes. >Is it common to have such a hard time losing weight? I will be starting on my meds, Met and Gluco. next month, will this help? Please let me know. I have hundreds of questions. >Thank you so much >Heather
