Hello Caroline and Sara
I too have PCOS - had it for years and suffer from the typical symptoms.
I would love to have your diet sheet (any good for vegetarians?!!) Well
done for the weight loss.
Brigit
PS Where can I find out more information on Metformin?

>>Hi Sara, I would also like to congratulate you on your weight loss. I am 27 and was diagnosed when I was 20 also, it took me a while to figure out what was wrong, I had to go to several different doctors. I have been looking for a diet to follow and was wondering if you could also mail me the diet sheet, I would be ever so grateful. I have tried different diets and always seem to fail at them. So please help! Thanks Carrie
