Almost all my blood work is normal . . . white blood count is a bit high, "total leukocyte count (TC) 11.1x10 3/L " n Doc says that thyroid is nearly at the borderline. "thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 3.69mlU/L "I have a Mild fatty Liver with hepatomegaly.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , diagnosis is already there, your queries are as,
1 Why Glycomet?
The metabolic relationship relates to state of hyperinsulinemia in PCOD. Insulin through G F receptor synergises with L H ( leutinizing hormone) to promote stromal luteinization ,follicular atresia and stimulation of androgen producing cells.
So glycomet lowers the sex hormone binding globulin .
2 Fatty liver is normal but it is somewhat enlarged so mentioned mild hepatomegaly ( fatty liver ) as this is due to overweight .
3 Gycomet in itself do not develops weakness, but mild gastric upset may be.
What is the effect of medislim , I can't say.
Good luck.
