Lori, I have PCOD and I am hyperglycemic, I don’t know if hyperglycemic is anything close to hyperinsulinemia. But I am on an injection called Zoladex this is suppose to let you know if a hysterectomy will work for you. I have been on this medicine since February and I love it. I have since changed my mind and have decided that I will take the injection until my insurance stops paying for the medicine. At that time I will have a hysterectomy. This injection is also giving me time to do more research on the PCOD and make sure a hysterectomy is really what needs to be done. The injection cost about $500.00 for one month and $1500.00 for three. Make sure to do research on the injection if you want to do it though, there is a lot of information out there under a search engine (i.e. http://www.ask.com). (What ever you do, do not get on Lupron there is a support group on it.) Zoladex will put you into menopause, which helps with the pain, the hair loss and growth. I also lost some weight and have felt better than I have felt in a really long time. Good luck to you, I really hope you start feeling better.
