  • I was diagnosed with PCOS last year, and given Metformin 500mg twice a day to help it. I also have vitamin B12 deficiency, which can be made worse by Metformin (arrghh! neverending cycle of illness!) I'm struggling at the moment though to know what I should/shouldn't be eating. I love carbs, think it's having an Irish…
  • I've just started on Metformin (2x500mg a day) and I can hardly eat anything - food is making me feel sick, although I am making myself eat! I've cut down on sugar alot.
