Re: HI, need helpFrom: K. (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 28 Aug 2003 23:53:21 -0500 (CDT)
Ria: I am 23 years old and was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15 years old. The message of following a diabetic diet is a good one, but it is very hard. I am from Jamaica, but my ancestors are of East Indian descent. Did you know that about 25% of PCOS women are of Indian origin? When I was 15, I initially gained 30 pounds and was diagnosed, and lost it. Then in college, I gained and lost another 45 pounds. I find that when my life becomes busy with my career/life goals, I don't have as much time to plan and think about my foods. When I did lose weight, I was able to do it by not eating any complex carbs for at least 3 months (to wean myself off of them) and then slowly introduced them in very limited quantities. I also cut out all extraneous sources of sugar, like soda and candy. Now, I have gained weight again, but I know it is something that I will overcome, as I have done it 2x before. Stay positive and keep your head up. I understand your reluctance to take meds, so try your best. Remember, if you have to take the meds, it is not because you failed.
