It doesn't sound like you need it at that level or at all?
I'd have to dig up my labs at the start when I was on 2000 mg of Glucophage Xr, but my recent A1C was 5.7 and my fasting was 80... and I cannot take it any more even if I wanted to. I've been without IR (free or dormant or whatever) for 2 years now and manage it via diet.
When I start feeling weird like you did, my endoc. said it was optional at this point. I didn't NEED it for IR management, but if I wanted to try it to help with appetite/weight loss I could try just a 500 dose. But I felt sick and gave it up.
Was she going for lowering IR - lowering androgens or something? Best that you talk to doc about it.
You might want to review the
inciid faq in the labs section and
Mary's FAQ too. Sometimes its hard to keep up with all this stuff in plain English.
HTH!
