If you have not had your insulin and glucose tested using a 2, 3, or 5 hour glucose tolerance test, your doctor may want to order one. If you have not had your hormone levels tested, your doctor may order that as well. When you schedule your appointment, be sure to ask what the doctor normally tests if a woman has already been diagnosed as having PCOS. If you doctor plans on testing your insulin and glucose, you need to eat a high carb diet for 72 hours before you begin fasting. If you do not, your tests may not reflect what your body is actually doing. If the doctor plans on testing your hormone levels, you need to ask how long they would like for you to be off of the pill (which will alter your hormone levels). I have absolutly no idea of what may be in Tonalin. It may also contain things that will alter any blood work that you have done. You have come this far, hang in there a little longer until you get the right care.
