NSV The Doctor Called!

In September of this year, I went to my gynecologist for an annual check up. I have PCOS, so it is customary for them to draw my blood. My results were in and my fasting glucose levels were high. Borderline diabetic high. Since then, I have lost 24 lbs and have been eating a lot healthier. Today I received a call from my family doctor stating that my glucose levels were normal! I was at the gym when they called and was practically in tears while doing my curls.

It made me realize that what I am doing is not only going to change my appearance but it is also going to change my life. It already has :smile:

    Congratulations! Wonderful news to get.
    I also have PCOS. While my glucose levels are normal, my Insulin has been 45 and up to 55 over the past 5 years. Last blood test it was down to 32! I've since lost another 5kg (10lbs) and am due another round of tests. Fingers crossed.
    Good luck!
