Re: hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia and IR questionFrom: Pat (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 29 May 2002 18:31:02 -0500 (CDT)
If your glucose levels are low, and you are thin, why do you think you have IR. Do you crave carbohydrates, or have the other symptoms of PCOS? Or have you been diagnosed with PCOS? In that case, then you could have grounds to ask for it. It probably is pretty expensive, and there would need to be a rationale for doing it. YOu might not have IR yet, but there is nothing stopping you from making healthy eating choices. For example, choosing to not eat breads, flour, sugar and starchy carbs, or at least eating them at a minimum. About 50 % of women with PCOS AREN'T overweight. It is probably a variation, or perhaps the symptoms haven't developed. Some teens are very slim, and then put on weight as they get older, and notice some of the other symptoms. One can have Insulin Resistance and NOT have PCOS or diabetes. IR is the beginning stages of diabetes, and some feel of PCOS. PCOS generally is high androgens, and the cells resistant to inslulin seems to be the associated condition. Take a look at this and maybe it will help: http://www.midwivesofwa.org/images/hopz25fb.f1.gif and http://www.midwivesofwa.org/images/hopz25fb.f2.gif
