I’m having a bit of burn out at the moment… my levels aren’t where I want to be and I’m very frustrated. I asked my nurse about metformin today as my insulin isn’t having the desired effect. She has just increased my dosage of insulin yet again. I am sick of this. I take sooooo much insulin and I

PCOS journey advice
I’m 28 and have been TTC for baby number 2 for 6 years. I was on Metformin for 4 years and the side effects were so brutal they advised me to stop. I’ve just had my second laparoscopy to remove a very large cyst which then gave me my first period after 2 years! My BMI is 34 which I am now trying so hard

vitamin B12 high
hi , have just had my blood tests results back had to have them done because I take statins and metformin. My vitamin b 12 has come back at 746 which apparently is abnormal, as anyone else had high vitamin B readings when taking statins or metformin ?
