Hi everyone, ok i posted last night but it never showed up, not sure if this one will or not, or if the other will after this so it might look like i posted this twice. Well i just want to say someone over on the WW board told me about you all over here and told me to check you all out. I was just diagnosed with insulin resistance and was put on metaform. I know that sometimes insulin resistance and pcos go together, not sure if i have pcos or not, the endo asked have i ever been diagnosed with it or not but did not give me that diagnosis. I do suffer from cyst on my ovaries but i know that could be something other than pcos. Im really nervous about the insulin resistance diagnosis and right now im just so overwhelmed with all the information i have read online. Right now im trying to decide what is the best eating plan for this lifestyle, i dont want to use diet but i need to figure out something before it turns into diabetes.
I also suffer from anxiety and depression and im a hypochondriac so i really worry about illness so this has taken a toll on my stress levels like you all would not believe. I just wanted to post, and find out all i can about you all and hopefully make some new friends along the way!!!

Hello and welcome to SC!! A lot of us are insulin resistant, I havent had to change my diet very much once I was put on met in controlled my levels. Although sometimes women have side effects from met like nausea, diarrheaa and so forth most of us have found that a low carb diet seems to help with the se and it can also help with the IR. Good Luck to you!!!
