I started taking metformin four days ago due to insulin resistance. I don’t have PCOS, and my glucose levels are still within normal range. Right now I don’t have any side effects except for a slightly upset stomach.

Do you have any advice? From your experience, how long did it take to resolve insulin resistance and stop taking metformin? Was everything okay after stopping the therapy?

I understand that it’s a good treatment, but I really wouldn’t like to take it for my entire life. At the moment I almost completely avoid “bad” carbohydrates, but I still occasionally eat sweets because my doctor didn’t fully forbid them. Overall, my diet is quite good and varied.
