    ^ Again, I don't disagree with anything you said. Everything you said is very good, solid advice. I was just probing for more information from people who have actually successfully lost weight with PCOS.

    I appreciate your input and hope I didn't come off as rude, as that was not my intention.

    I was more monitored by the personal trainer, than the doctor, so no blood glucose monitoring. The PT mainly monitored my eating and exercise. As I stated, it took 5 different doctors to actually get a diagnosis. The medical side was actually fairly unhelpful. There was some "try this diet" and "eat less, exercise more" comments, but nothing incredibly helpful, especially when all my thyroid tests kept coming back within range. It wasn't until speaking with the NP and explaining my situation, AGAIN, that she properly tested me for insulin resistance and based on those results and a family history of PCOS, diagnosed me. She put me on metformin at that time and told me to continue to take my birth control, but I haven't had much success since my hormones went totally wacky.

    OMG!! Just 2 weeks after my first post here I have discovered I'm pregnant after 7 years of trying and battling PCOS! I'm still walking around in a trance. Miracle!! :-)

    A lot of people advise to "never give up hope"!! My advice is the opposite. Give up hope and you could get the shock of your life! Lol

    Xx
