Hi Kari, He told me to get Theragran-M. I am not sure why. I was taking Centrum before. Jill

Thanks, Shayna! I was wondering about the folic acid myself, so I looked it up in a couple of places. Folic acid is vitamin B-9, in high strengths it is dispensed by prescription. I read that it is a treatment for the condition "sprue" which among other symptoms can cause digestive problems and malabsorption of vitamins and glucose. It is normally found in green, leafy vegetables. Before prescribing anything, he asked me what kinds of foods I usually eat. I’m thinking maybe he saw some need for this vitamin in my diet. Another thought I had, was that I had liver tumors caused by BCPs. They were removed, but perhaps the doctor is concerned about my liver function, and this vitamin can help treat anemia caused by liver disease. There’s food for thought! Jill

… where we last left off, I had that GTT done and the RE said to go see a regular Endo for the elevated glucose levels on the Fasting and 1 – 1/2 hour intervals. So today was the appt with regular Endo and wonder of wonders, he not only _understood_ my history but was supportive of PCO treatment as well. He agrees Met is the way to go! Hurray… I got a take-home 500mg starter pack of Met, plus a scrip for folic acid and was told to take a specific brand of multivitamin while practicing a strict low carb diet (which I was working on anyway). My dr also said he would write a scrip for weight loss drugs. I thought this was unusual. Jill
