Insulin Resistance Syndrome
"I am very cautious about new medications, but I started taking metformin 6 months ago (no cost at my drugstore) for impaired glucose tolerance and I feel so much better!  It helped curb my appetite and I am eating much healthier - I have lost 15 pounds, due not just to the metformin, but also healthier eating and increased exercise.  Another positive is that I have a decrease in the number of migraine headache episodes that I had before I started metformin.  Again, a combination of meds and healthier lifestyle habits."
