Your doctor may prescribe metformin (Glucophage, Glucophage XR), an oral medication for type 2 diabetes that lowers insulin levels even if you do not have Diabetes. This drug improves ovulation and leads to regular menstrual cycles. Metformin also slows the progression to type 2 diabetes if you already have prediabetes and aids in weight loss if you also follow a diet and an exercise program.
If you do not have Diabetes, then you are not insulin-resistant.
It is up to you whether you decide whether or not you want to give Metformin a try.
