A member asked:
Is pcos a lifelong illness? do i have to continue taking glucophage? i cannot control my sugar cravings without it? or weight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pcos is: Unfortunately lifelong. There is no cure for it. It requires lifestyle management - diet and exercise to keep weight normalized. You don’t need glucophage if you can adequately manage your weight — that is the best way.
