PCOS - do I need to be on Metformin?

[butterfly_warrior]

Lynn, I'd really push getting a GTT done that will actually check for insulin levels. My fasting insulin is only slightly elevated (12 when it should be under 10). It's the insulin levels after the glucose load that really frightened my FS!

Many of the problems are hidden, and without the right tests, you may never know how bad it is... as was the case for me. As you are eating right, exercising and still not going anywhere, there's a good chance that you are insulin resistant to some extent.

Your OB is right - sometimes a pregnancy does improve the hormone problems associated with PCOS.

BW,

Thank you for all your help and information. I will speak to my ob again and get a GTT done that checks my insulin levels.

Thanks again
Lynn
