I recently started seeing a new endo who diagnosed me. He increased my Metformin to 2000mg a day and also put me on Glyburide 5mg a day and Neurontin 100 mg a day (for neuropathy, i especially have in my feet, along with body aches & pains) I had prviously been taking Metformin 1000mg. I also take Armour Thyroid for Hashimoto's Disease (hypothyroid).

My periods have taken a vacation (last one was back in March) Is it possible that i had pcos all along and that it just turned to diabetes? I'm just guessing. I'm also soon to turn 45 next month, could also be perimenopause. Can anyone else relate?

Well, first of all Pcos doesn't turn into diabetes. PCOS can cause diabetes and IR, but it doesn't turn into diabetes...It could be the medication that is causing the absence in AF. Have you told your endo? Have you seen an OBGYN? Good luck and I hope this helps.
