Can you take metformin if you don't have diabetes?

At the hospital I go to, the physician explained that metformin is used off-label for weight loss and PCOS. But you should ask your doctor clearly to see if you actually need it.

I have been taking metformin for insulin resistance without being diabetic. It works well, but it can cause stomach upset initially, so ask your doctor about starting with a low dose.

Oh, I would be so anxious taking a diabetes drug if I don't have diabetes! Please make sure your doctor has run all the necessary blood tests before you start it.

In my experience, doctors these days prescribe metformin for many metabolic issues, not just diabetes. Just follow your doctor's advice and don't take it on your own.
