So I am 32 and have always been a 28 day cycler never late or early.I have 3 girls 15,11 and 9.Never had any problems getting pregnant infact it was an effort not to get pregnant so I had a tubal in 2000.This past february my periods went hay wire.I was having them twice a month or sometimes 40 days apart , it was very erratic.Then this may I had my labs drawn with a elevated testosterone and Dhea which 3 months before in feb. all my labs were normal.Had a sono last week and I polycystic ovaries.So my gyno says I have PCOS.However I am not Insulin resistance infact I am hypoglycemic.My blood sugar is on the 60's upon waking and I usually run in the 70's which is making me feel just plain terrible, like death.I managed to get it up to 108 2 days ago but I had to eat a lot of fried chicken strips, gravy with french fries and a brownie fudge sunday from braums !!! I say this is not normal.I'll eat and get it up in the low 80's and then it always goes back to the 70's, I am checking sometimes upwards of 15x a day.My question is how can I have PCOS when IF anything I have HYperinsulinsim not Insulin resistance..please help me understand.

You might want to ask your doctor this specific question: What is the basis for my pcos diagnosis?

They should be able to detail the tests that were run, the medical issues observed, that prompted them to make the diagnosis.
