Welcome to our forum! Nice to meet another nurse. I'm an RN, there's a couple other nurses here too. Sorry to hear you have PCOS, but I'm happy for you that the lowcarb is helping. Good for you on the lbs. lost too! ...

Just a question about the Metformin, to help Josee and others. The blood level peaks at 2-3 hrs after the dose, with a half-life of 4 hrs. So, when is the ideal time to take it?? Most of the pharmacology websites say simply to take it with food. The Drs. Eades, in "Protein Power Lifeplan" suggest for all their patients with insulin resistance, should be taken as a single dose at hs. Not specific for PCOS though. My thought is only logical, that it should be taken ac meals. What do you think, or know about this?? I will continue to scour the internet, see what I can find out.

Look forward to hearing more from you, and continued success with lowcarbing!
