Dr. Mark Perloe, a fertility doctor in Atlanta, is willing to talk to any physician about insulin, it's testing, and it's meaning for women with PCOS. He believes a fasting insulin over 10 is cause for concern and a possible rationale for the use of insulin lowering medication (specifically, metformin). You can find contact information for Dr. Perloe at http://www.ivf.com. He is also the medical advisor for PCOSupport Georgia.
