Low AMH and Metformin (insulin resistance)
Hi all I know Metformin is often used in fertility for people who have PCOS, therefore with a high ovarian reserve. I have had an insulin resistance test recently which showed elevated levels, it has been suggested I take Metformin for it. I have low AMH though and am a little worried about whether

Prediabetic and trying to find the right foods to eat
Hi, I'm a prediabetic and I'm still learning what is ok and not ok to eat. My doctor had me on metformin but I stopped taking it 3 days ago. The last two days that I did take it I became really weak and almost passed out. So that's why I had stopped taking it. I'm hoping to get some helpful tips on

I've been on Jardiance for about 2 weeks now. My fasting blood sugars have gone up about 30 points since. I am also taking 5mg of glipizide. I've always had good control of my diabetes, A1C has always been around 6, give or take a couple either way. I had been on Metformin prior to this. I had labs

Pcos with regular but very light periods?
Hi all, I have lean pcos and was diagnosed via ultrasound after coming off the pill a year ago and not having a period. I had elevated testosterone levels on a blood test but everything else was fine (I have no unwanted hair growth). I started very lightly spotting a month ago and to the day I'm now

Questions about Montelukast and Metformin
I tried to find the answers by searching meds that aggrevate RLS but couldn't find an answer. Do the above cause any RL problems? I am trying to be so careful about anything, over the counter or prescription, that I take now. I will have a full blood panel (ferritin) checked for first time on Monday

I was recently diagnosed with lack of B12 in my bloods (not anaemic) but most likely due to high dose Metformin and lanzoprasole as I am also diabetic. Since starting the jabs I seem to have had a PMR flare and wonder if I should go from 4 mgs back to 10 for perhaps a week or so as my legs and ankles
