Seeing that you think it a few carbs in my diet could cause this, should I not go with the Zone b/c of the amt carbs it allows?
Thanks

40% cabrs it's not just a few carbs, may be 20% or less carbs would be better for you? Some ppl are highly IR, and IR causes PCOS. metformin is known to help with both but watch you diet. Make sure you absolutely have no refined sugars in any form, not even ww bread, limit your fruit (if this a problem as well), and try to eat more greens. You can try to eliminate one source of carbs at a time and see if you get better results. Also, 500mG of metformin is the lowest dose, not much if you want to get full benefit of this drug.You may want to talk to your doctor on doubling or even trippling the dose. Also, if your free testosterone is a bit high, exercise will make it worst. It curbs estrogen production in even otherwise healthy females, so take it easy with exercise.
I hope you get better.
