Diabetic and premenopausal problems

Hi Eeryone,

I really need all the help and info i can get from all of you friendly folks
in the following issues i am dealing from past 3-4 months.

1. I was diagnosed with Diabetes 4 months ago. My doc prescribed me
metformin to reduce my sugar levels. It is working o.k. with diet
and exercise which i am following sincerely.
2. Two months ago my period started and kept on going for 6 weeks. I talked to my Gyn. she did biopsi and said eerything is normal, it is just hormonal inbalance which can be fixxed by Birthcontrol pill. I started taking it, at the beginning my bleeding was 5-6 pads / day. Later it reduced to 1 pad. The pill i am using is Azurette. Still 1 pad after 6 weeks. She says it still works.

Does anyone know whether this is the right way to deal my issues? Any other options?. If so please please let me know.

Thank you
