Glugophage
The glucophage is used to control insulin, often given to diabetics. It is also known as Metformin. Basically, it reduces the glucose production by the liver and increases the uptake of glucose by the body. I have been diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago. Prior to that I had steadily gained weight for 10 years reguardless of determined efforts to lose. Once started on glucophage, I have been able to lose, albeit with great effort; and I do not gain when I am not exercising. Glucophage is offered in extended release which allows it to be taken just once a day instead of 3 times.
