Hi,

My endo told me anything over 10 means insulin resistance.

Unhappy well

Linda...

Are you talking about an A1c or another type of test?

If you are talking about your results from the A1c blood test... I truly hate to inform you that anything over a 6 on the 'scale' means insulin-resistant diabetes.

Unfortunately it is not uncommon to get diabetes if you have PCOS, and even less so if it goes unchecked, unbalanced and your weight &/or sugar levels stay high.

A 17 on the A1c is VERY high and don't be surprised if they suggest insulin shots &/or other meds like glucophage to drop it quickly. I am sure they will recommend a meeting with a dietitian or nutricianist as well.


I will hope for the best outcome for you. HTH....
