Because of their insulin resistance, patients with PCOS may find it harder to lose weight. To lose weight, it is best to maintain a diabetic diet (low carb, low sugar) and exercise regularly. Your doctor may prescribe Metformin (a Diabetes medication) for you which will regular your blood sugar and help you lose weight faster.

Stimulates your appetite.
