Just saw my Endo yesterday and told him after 10 years of trying to prevent it, insulin has become the best thing I ever did. I told him the mix of pills were not really working and I didn't want to take them anymore. He did agree but told me to stay on the metformin. I would love to go off that as well or try to see what happens without it but it took me close to 6 months for my body to get used to the drug without terrible cramping, stomach issues etc.
amen and thank you.
best wishes with your health and thanks for discussion.
