Subject: preteen PCOS
Input on case requested.
11 yr old whose mother is a patient with PCOS. For some reason, mother
managed to get a fasting insulin on her daughter which is elevated. Daughter
has early secondary sex characteristics, normal height, without menarche.
Has had rapid weight gain the past year. Mother brings her daughter to see
me. Screen for diabetes, Cushings, hyperadrogenism were negative. Mother
wants her on glucophage in anticipation of developing PCOS. What would you
do? Any other suggestions?
Thanks
