Is there a link between PCOS, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and pregnancy? And would RESET help?

I have heard that PCOS is related to insulin resistance. And that 40% of people with PCOS end up with type 2 diabetes later in life. I was given Metformin (a diabetic medication) in order to get pregnant and it worked. This leads me to believe that a program such as RESET (see two links below) could potentially have the same effect. What do you think? Would it work without all the side affects of Metformin?

Yes, there's a link. Believe it or not, the solution to PCOS, poor fertility, and insulin resistance is healthy diet and exercise. Healthy diet may not be as simple as it seems to most of us, however. If you look at civilizations where insulin resistance, PCOS, and other chronic diseases, like heart disease, stroke, hypertension, obesity, and the like, that plague the more affluent countries does not exist, the answer becomes quite simple. For more on this, read Dr. Joel Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" book. Or, you can visit my diabetes info page and see how I got off the Metformin... for good.

Definately!!!

PCOS is characterized by having multiple symptoms that can be followed up with lab tests as well. I would ask your M.D. for testosterone, aldosterone, FSH and LH levels as well as your lipid (cholesterol) panel. A lot of times when women have PCOS they are insulin resistant. That is the basis of the disease, it can lead to diabetes. Visit www.pcosupport.org for further information on symptoms and treatments.
