    I wish this would notify me when someone posts here. Maybe I'm using the app wrong. Idk. Lol.
    Glad everyone seems well.

    Endocrinologist update. They took me off Janumet and put me on Metformin ER 500mg twice a day and Levemir injections.. i was really trying to stay off insulin but my fasting bs needs to be under 90 and it's the only way to do that right now.
    PCOS gave me insulin resistance Nd it leads to type 2 diabetes. Watch your sugar and carb intake ladies.

    Sugar and carbs are my downfall. It's what I crave and it's what makes me gain weight.

    I have been giving in to temptation too much these last few weeks and my weight has been all over the place. It hasn't been the steady decline like it was when I first stared Metformin.

    I have been doing crossfit 3 times a week but think I will increase to four days.

    I also need to cut back on carbs and only have them once or twice a day.

    This week's goals
    1. Increase my water intake
    2. Snack on veggies
    3. Four workouts

    I have PCOS as well and do not do anything to treat it. I really didn't know there was anything.... I was diagnosed when I was 20 under a Group Health plan that was horrible, (28 years ago) and have never looked into it further. I also think I am insulin resistant but have never been diagnosed.

    I also have PCOS and take Metformin to help control it. Working to get my macros under control and exercise regularly. Please please please add me if you'd like to give/receive support.

    Cheers!
