Many people say metformin 500mg doesn't have that much of an impact for pcos and prediabetes. is this true? only been on for like a month..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
..people say..: It is fairly effective, probably the most effective medication that is available, but not a miracle worker. Weight loss, exercise is also very effective.
