How to control PCOS without metformin?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from PCOS for many years and am undergoing both homeopathic and allopathic treatments. I do well while on medication. I have undergone all standard fertility tests, TSH, insulin, rubella, CBC, AMH, FSH, fasting and postprandial glucose, hysterosalpingogram, and Pap smear, and everything is within the normal range except my fasting serum insulin, which is 31.5 (normal is below 25). I am taking Glycomet and homeopathic medicine and responding well. How can I confirm that I am sexually and reproductively healthy?
