Yes: For many people who technically don't have diabetes, it is possible that metabolic syndrome, pcos or pre-diabetes are still interfering with the body’s ability to process sugar in the blood. Thisdrug can help them by breaking the vicious cycle of blood sugar spikes, excess insulin, and the resulting blood sugar low that sets off an almost uncontrollable drive to eat to try and restore blood sugar.
