They were interviewing Britanny from The Biggest Loser a little after 9:30 this morning and in the course of the interview, she said that she was diagnosed with PCOS shortly before she went home this season. They didn't spend loads of time discussing it, but they did put a little "blurb" (sorry, I don't know TV lingo so I'm not sure of the correct term ) on the bottom of the screen listing some of the more common symptoms.
Great national exposure!

Hi Deblynnc, you beat me to the punch!! I saw that this morning too and I was just about to post it when I saw your post here first LOL... the only thing I didnt like about that interview was like u said they didnt spend loads of time on it and I was kinda upset when the interviewer asked Britanny well is there some medicine doctors can give u to cure it?everything in me was screaming......PCOS can be managed. At last their main focus was on the fact that she lost the weight not what caused or could possibly hinder losing weight.......but the word is getting out there!!!
