Ok back to basics

Oct 22, 2009

I have been struggling - really struggling, and too depressed about all this to post or anything.  I kind of accepted I was losing slowly but it trickled down to a stop and i have been gaining since September.  I went to the doctor and(with the help of my NUT)  finally convinced them to do an insulin level test - after reading the things in this forum about PCOS.  I tell you its not easy telling the medical profession things that you read about on a forum.  But I have been seeing my NUT on a regular basis and discussing frankly and fully my eating habits and she supported me in requesting an insulin level test. Well I got the results today and surprise surprise! All my blood sugars are normal, my B12's and iron are normal, my liver function normal...in fact everything hunky dory except MY INSULIN!!! It was 20 and I now have metformin in my hot sweaty hand - and a renewed hope.  So a huge thank you to the forum members who talk about this little known or little acknowledged beast.
