Just Diganosed today with PCOS and being put on Metfromin.
 

Hello Everyone.

I don't where to start.

I'm very heavy, probably pushing the 300 mark.

I am a stay at home mom to three amazing kids and I have a husband who is in the military and the love of my life.

Other than that, I've got PCOS. I just got my labs back today my estrogen is super duper high, my testosterone is super duper high, my progesterone is almost none existent. My blood sugar levels are on the higher end of normal...YAH!

So my doctor has me on Progesterone pills, and she said she felt that Metfromin would help with me getting my blood sugars back into the normal range and if I eat a good diet and exercise, I might see some weight loss.

Soooo, okay, a lot to digest right now.
What is a good diet to start that is insulin resistant? If I am going to do this, I wanna see it through.

Thanks so much.

Hi Missy Ann! I see you have a lot of blessings going for you so that's good. And it's also good that you went to the doctor to get checked out and to get help. I'm going to let someone more knowledgeable address the types of diets, but I have just started something called the Slow Carb Diet (you can google it), and I would think anyone with insulin issues would want to be careful of their carb intake. But again, hopefully someone with real knowledge will chime in. Good luck!
