Glucophage and Glucophage XR along with many other diabetic meds are used to treat PCO & IR. Been there, did it. Please also be aware......if you have had a fertility problem and you are taking diabetic meds to treat these maladie.......your fertility problem may be cured quickly. Women in this area with fertility problems have been flocking to the Endo docs and are all getting PREGNANT. LOL!!

I had total Hysto in 3/04, so no more PCO, but still have IR. I have appt. with Endo Doc next week. I have questions. I want to know if I am now Diabetic. If I am not and since the Hysto took care of the PCO AND I am LC'g I might want to get off of the Actos(diabetic med). If I'm correct, I remember Dr. A mentioning these meds slowing down weight loss. Also, IR does slow down weight loss as well. I'll let you know what I find out. LOL to you all!!
