Reasonably new to the cysters

Hi, I'm nicole. Was diagnosed in September, started metformin two days ago. Feel sickly with it but sure it will pass. Trying rack my brains around diets . Just thought I'd say hi x

Stick to low GI as it may help, metformin doesn't suit everyone so don't stay on it if you don't feel well as there is a question mark as to how good it is for pcos ladies unless they are insulin resistant - were you tested for IR ? There is a slow release version as well which may help with the stomach issues.

I've only had it twice so going give it time to settle. I am on a slow intake

Week 1:- every other evening

Wee 2:- every evening

Week 3:- every other morning and every evening

Week 4 :- every morning/evernin

So hopefully it will settle ok x

Slow intake should help hopefully, for some there are no improvements at all though so don't stick on too long if the side effects are too bad.
