Good morning marras. I too went to see the same consultant, she is lovely, and well thought of in the medical community, having excellent knowledge of HRT programmes, the only thing I have since come across with other clinicians, having moved too far away to see her again, although she does do telephone consultations, is her opinion on insulin resistance, as I was also told that all menopause women suffer it to a certain degree once the oestrogen levels drop, she prescribed Metformin, which is given to diabetics. I have no reason to doubt that it is absolutely fine, but another well esteemed Consultant I saw here, who knew her well, raised his eyebrows a little, as she is known for this! Absolutely wonderful with the HRT, and I am feeling a lot better as well, he agreed she had given me absolutely the right thing, and knowing that she is at the end of the phone is so reassuring. So glad you are feeling better, but just wanted you to be aware of differing opinions on other aspects of menopause treatment.
Take care.
