Can decreased glucose tolerance ever truly be reversed?

I have reason to believe, after much reading today, that a few different birth control pills that were given to me in the year 2000 may have contributed to some decreased glucose metabolism in my body. I took these pills before I knew about PCOS and before I had any background on what was in the pills. Thanks to many posts on this forum, by the way, and posted links to different sites and articles, I was able to figure out (I think) what birth control pill would be best for me at this point. I am going to call my doctor on Monday to make my request. My question now is, in the event that the other pills DID indeed cause a decrease in glucose metabolism, can that state ever be reversed? Does glucophage actually cause a reversal in this situation? If I get on a pill that has a progestin known to have a lower risk in causing a glucose intolerance could that also help to reverse the damage? Thanks to those who may have knowledge in this area.
