PCOD since 15 years
I have pcod since 15 years and I am 28 years old. I've constantly been on Metformin since I was 13 years old. I want to know if taking Metformin for life is the right way to address my pcod? I'm pre diabetic going by what my endocrinologist says. But I want to address this more naturally with less side effects.
