Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would like to inform you that metformin is used not only in diabetes but also in polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS).
PCOS is a condition which is frequently associated with insulin resistance so the role of metformin is there in treating PCOS.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
