[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 788531, member: 41816"] You might want to check out Berberine. It has had some investigation as an alternative to metformin, but you would have to buy it, and I think it needs further study before I would feel confident taking it. My view is that low carbing does far more for my PCOS and bg control than MEtformin, which works in specific and quite limited ways. Exercise will lower insulin resistence for about 80% of people - and in my experience does so far better than metformin. I don't lose weight on LC (even VLC) unless I exercise consistently. but I am not talking about massive gym or circuit training sessions. I am talking about 8000 steps a day, a few flights of stairs, and keeping consistently under 50g carbs a day (prob far less, because I almost never eat starchy veg in any from and eat no grains any more).
