HOMA-IR 6.4 at 29 — metformin needed?
29M, 98kg, 178cm (BMI 31). Fasting labs 22/06/2026.
Fasting Glucose: 93 (normal)
HbA1c: 5.7% (borderline)
Fasting Insulin: 54 mIU/L (high, ref 2.6-24.9)
HOMA-IR: 6.4 (high, ref 0.7-2.0)
ALT 64, GGT 98 ( fatty liver), Vit D 16 (deficient). Hypertension on Cilnidipine. No diabetes.
Endocrinologist advised only weight loss and vitamin D. But my HOMA-IR is 3x the upper limit. Should I be on metformin at this stage to address insulin resistance and protect against diabetes, or is weight loss alone the right approach? Also open to GLP-1 if appropriate given BMI 31.

Pictutary microadenoma
My prolactins level were high and doctor suggested MRI
These are the findings
"There is an ovoid nodule measuring 6.6 x 8.8 x 5.7 mm (AP x TR x CC) seen in
pituitary gland on left side, which appears isointense on T1, heterogeneously
hyperintense on T2, hypoenhancing on early phase of dynamic contrast images
and intense homogeneous contrast enhancement on delayed images of dynamic
study. Pituitary stalk is deviated towards right side. Imaging findings are
suggestive of pituitary microadenoma. Serum prolactin estimation is suggested."
I am very worried, what does it mean ?

Having trouble with weight
Hello Eceryone I am a 27-year-old female struggling with weight loss. My current weight is around 75 kg and height is 163 cm. Even when I follow a strict diet, avoid sugar/outside food, and try to maintain a calorie deficit, I find it very difficult to lose weight and regain easily. I have hypothyroidism and I’m concerned there may be underlying hormonal issues like PCOS/PCOD or insulin resistance affecting my weight. I also struggle with cravings and appetite control.
Could you please advise what tests I should do (thyroid levels, hormones, insulin etc.) and whether treatment options like GLP-1 medications (semaglutide/tirzepatide) would be appropriate and safe for my case?
