I think I would fit in to type 2. I am slightly overwieght but not comsidered medically obese. My testosterone levels are normal but my free androgens are high and I am insulin resistant.

I don't really know what category I fall into....I know my biggest symptom was my insulin. But when I went in for blood work and tests, my sono showed the lining fine (no build up), my ovaries were fine (not full of cysts) but my horomones and insulin and cholesterol were off the freaking charts....

Does that mean I'd be a 4??? I was in the obese category (but now a days who isn't?) I was like 5 lbs into obese, but now I'm just overweight *blush* gee thanks

I've dropped 20 lbs since starting Met, and those other factors fell into place. I also started getting my period again, but I'm not sure if I'm actually ovulating...and since we're not technically TTC, I'm not temping, etc.
