I was just diagnosed yesterday. And was put on Glucafage only. My
question runs along yours...is it enough? I was told that Glucafage
would treat the diabetes and the PCOS. But, if you have an infection in
one arm that affects the other arm...do you only treat the result and
not the cause? That's what I don't understand. Seems treating the
diabetes but not the PCOS is a waste of time and money on everybody's
part, and does me no good no the PCOS.
