This morning I read a Facebook post from an organization named Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association that educates people about PCOS. This is what their post said: "PCOS is thought to be a result of insulin resistance. Many doctors mistakenly believe that they can diagnose (or rule out) insulin resistance with a blood glucose test. While this is correct for approaching diabetes where the pancreas is starting to fail, this is incorrect for PCOS. PCOS usually involves insulin resistance with compensating hyperinsulinemia (overproduction of insulin), and this will result in normal blood glucose levels."



It sounds like it is time to get my insulin levels checked.
