It's interesting how insulin can affect so many things. It seems just about everything that's wrong with me is connected to that one little thing. I have a recurrent thrush problem. An offhand comment from a chemist connected it to sugar levels. I was buying diabex & a thrush treatment at the same time and the chemist asked if I was diabetic as thrush loves sugar. My doctor had never mentioned it. I'm not diabetic but the connection to PCOS was to close to ignore. While on diabex, pregnant or breastfeeding, I've hardly ever had thrush. Maybe 3 or 4 times in 3 years compared to every month normally. I also had a rather large baby (4.37kg). I've heard that GD can cause large babies - again sugar levels. I didn't have GD that I'm aware of but perhaps my levels were slightly up? Who knows. I might ask my doctor to keep a closer eye on it next time.
