My doctor just started me on metformin today due to my decent amount of weight gain over the last few years from PCOS/insulin resistance. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with metformin and how it affected their weight and any other benefits they found? thanks! :smile:

how dependable is the Polar FT7 with calorie count?
