hello..
metformin helps in controlling blood sugars and also reduces weight..
dianette doesnt help in any weight loss..it is an antiandrogenic combination of drugs..
it is common to have weight gain irrespective of activity or diet in PCOS cases.
tell her not to worry abut weight...just take the prescribed medicine properly and take balanced diet , physical activity ..
weight problem comes down with PCOS.
hope my answer helps you
