I could not bear the idea of going off BCP. No way. I did it last time in 2006 and all hell broke loose. I was off of BCP for about a year and I have scars to prove it. I never want to go back to that. Never ever. I was so depressed it was awful.
I am normal weight, had the glucose tolerance test but the doctor said nothing about the insulin levels, so my understanding is that they never checked them. In Finland we have free health care and they don't really bother unless something is clearly wrong. Me being normal weight, they probably thought I was crazy asking for blood glucose test.
So to this day I'm not sure if I have IR or not. |
