Does anyone know whether Metformin is primarily prescribed for insulin resistance? The hospital doc I saw this week said so. Is it true?
She thought I shd drop the Metformin bec (as a LADA) I'm less likely to be insulin resistant. So she tht it probably wasn't helping. But my BS responds to exercise, so isn't that because I am IR?
Any experience with this? Lucy
