Your acne problem can be helped by combined dose oral cyclical pills taken under guidance of a gynae. Regular periods will restart too. Keep taking thyronorm if your tsh was high. Try to lose weight if you are overweight.

Voglibose is usually recommended with each meal, that is three times a day. As it is mainly for reducing post food glucose rise. Thanks.

Metformin is safe drug used for insulin sensisitation. It will not make you thin. If you are very particular to change it, tab hyponidd one twice daily is an effective substitute. After 2 weeks, you can increase the dose to 2 tabs twice daily.

Metformin acts peripherally at the tissue level and Pioglitazone is one of the alternative but depends on patient to patient
