Re: question about diabetes and pcosFrom: April (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 14 May 2000 18:45:38 -0500 (CDT)
I have both PCOS and Type 2 diabetes. I am not a doctor but this is how mine explained it to me. My body does produce insulin but for some reason does not use it effectively. Most people with Type 2 diabetes have this problem (or so I have been told by my endocrinologist). It is all linked to insulin resistance which is common in women with PCOS.
