PCOS and diabetesFrom: Monica (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 26 Jun 2000 14:26:22 -0500 (CDT)
Well, I'm trying to get a handle on this. PCOS, insulin, diabetes, hormones, etc... I feel like my mind is racing with a million questions trying to put this puzzle together! Any info or insight you can shed will be greatly appreciated! My aunt was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago. She gives herself two shots of insulin daily. Her daughter is being treated for PCOS. Could my aunt have PCOS that went undiagnosed and now is diabetic? If you have PCOS and are being treated, what are your chances of becoming diabetic? If you do become diabetic are you no longer considered to have PCOS? Is the term Polycystic Ovarian Symdrome really a misnomer? Is it really just a way of saying your endocrine system is out of wack and ONE of the symptoms may be that you develop cysts on your ovaries? (I thought I read somewhere that SOME post menapausal woman and/or woman who had their ovaries removed can still have PCOS. And that some woman with PCOS never get cysts on their ovaries. Is this true?) Any comments or corrections? Thanks! Monica
