Just one thing about metformin and glucose levels...

It's entirely possible to have normal glucose levels and still be insulin resistant. Insulin resistance just means your body needs to produce more insulin than normal in order to control blood glucose levels. I'm told that if your blood glucose levels are elevated, then it's actually type II diabetes, not merely insulin resistance. Metformin will help your body use the insulin it is producing, so that it won't need to produce insulin in such excess. I guess it acts as a kind of "hearing aid" for your cells - stops the body from having to SHOUT SO LOUDLY to get them to use insulin.

Liz, I was reading somewhere (I think it was John Eden's PCOS book) that there is a type of PCOS that resolves after pregnancy - I'll have to look it up again, I'm a bit too brain-fogged at the moment to recall exactly what was said.

Suz, I feel bad for not emailing you again - I've had a few dramas here lately, but things appear to be getting back to normal now, I'll be in touch soon if I survive the return to work tomorrow.
