Any thoughts on IR and if I need further testing??From: Red (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 22 Sep 2002 01:53:28 -0500 (CDT)
Reposted this with a new title Thanks! Hi I am 27 years old hypothyroid and diagnosed PCOS (finally last month). I have a history of hypoglycemia (as low as 40's which at one point sent me to hospital). My infertility doc had a fasting glucose and fasting insulin drawn and they say I am not IR, and therefore, despite my array of symptoms I am not eligible for metformin. I don't see how that is possible when I was told that I was "overreleasing insulin" years ago before the PCOS diagnosis. Do I need the 5 hour IGTT??? Is it possible this weekend when my husband and I were away that my not taking my thyroid meds (so hard to remember when they are packed in a suitcase) and restarting my meds the morning of testing could have caused my insulin/glucose to be screwy?? Also I am in the first weeks of a thyroid med increase! I was thinking I should be rechecked next month. My insulin was 9 and glucose was 93 well above 4.5 ratio I have read about! I hope someone can help me or share their experiences so I can stop crying - this is all so hopeless when you are trying to get pregnant. Thanks for any and all input!
