Blood pressure 139/82


I saw my doctor today and he said that all my tests show conclusively that I have PCOS. But, to quote him, "It is more than Mickey Mouse PCOS. It is far advance." He said that it is Metabolic Syndrome, and I have to see an endocrinologist tomorrow.

Also, because my fasting blood sugar was so high I have to have another test tomorrow before a diabetes diagnosis can be made.

And, I have cervical dysplasia. I have cysts not only on my ovaries but also in my uterus and cervix. My doctor did a colposcopy. He said that it might just be due to my abnormal hormone levels, or it might be cancer. The biopsy results take 2-4 weeks.

Thats a lot to take in, isn't it, about the things that could be the matter, the potential lifestyle changes, it must feel overwhelming (((HUGS)))

You should check out the American Diabetes Association web site.

I've been told I am pre-diabetic so I need to get my stuff together so I don't get too advanced, I feel lucky to work for a doctor who explains most of this to me! I have also tested positive as Insulin Resistance back 6 yrs ago or so, I'd hate to see it now!
