Happy to hear about this Angela!! Wish I could say the same about my appt last
Wed. I guess it went allright...BUT, doc told me it was very possible I don't
even have PCOS....even though two other docs had diagnosed me years & years ago
and I have all the symptoms and have for years. Also said my insulin & glucose
levels from last March were "normal." I asked about the IGTT & she said that it's
really not worth it and a fasting insulin/glucose is just as good. So, anyway,
she's ordered a bunch more labs which I will go into Boston for next week. Ever
wonder ......why the constant frustration???!!! I know I do!
Take Care...
