You mention several symptoms (like your blood sugar, skin tags, weight
gain, etc.) that sound hormonal in nature, and sound like something is
wrong. Whether it's PCOS or not, you might benefit from seeing an
endocrinologist who can tell you what's up and perform all the necessary
tests and so on.
the PCOS Association has a great quiz on their site that you can fill
out to see what the likelihood of your having PCOS is. If that would be
helpful to you, you can find it at
