Answer :

I texted my best friend because she has it. She just found out a few months ago, but it went undiagnosed for years. Her only symptom was a struggle with weight and she says it can’t be diagnosed without bloodwork. She takes Metformin 3 times a day to regulate insulin, and if you don’t have insurance, she says it costs about $600 for a three month supply.
