He said that since I'm post-menopause, it is not necessary. But, I still have the skin tags multiplying daily, acne, weight gain, hair problems, high blood pressure and high cholesterol despite low carb, and I don't lose weight no matter what. Does anyone know if Metaformin would help me? Or is the doctor right and it's useless since I'm post-menopause?
