Metaformin as treatment for AA.?

So went to a specialist that deals primarily with woman with hairloss. So this derm said that because of my age (43) and this being new to me that it has to do with hormones (tho my tests all came back normal) and Is putting me on Metaformin which helps with autoimmune!!!! And I only thought it was for diabetics!!! Guess I'll give it a shot. Anyone out there try this road yet?? Would love to know the results.

I've been on Metformin max dose of 4 pills for about 10 years now as a treatment for diabetes. I have not encountered any hair growth. Good luck.
