It was news to me to hear I have metabolic syndrome. This is insulin resistance-early diabetes. there is no history of diabetes in my family either. It turns out this causes havoc with hormones too which in turn can cause Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. The way to treat Metabolic Syndrome is diet,exercise and in some cases medication.
My doctor put me on Metformin. It is a diabetic drug that will help my body controll the insulin it produces. It also helps to regulate the hormone and promote ovulation. It is not a fertility drug. In fact I am gonna choose not to take those, but more on that later. Anyway, one of the side effects of Metformin is nausia, and boy did i feel that badly last week. not fun!! if i'm gonna be nausious i want it to be cause i'm pregnant, not anything else! :)
Dr.Ellsworth gave me an extended release formula of Metformin, and i can already tell a difference after taking my dose yesterday! let's hope it stays that way!
