Freaked Out!
Question:
Okay — I just got back from visiting with the gyn nurse and asked if my endocrine dr. had sent the results of my lab (he hadn’t) so I had to explain that I wanted to start clomid today (day 5) and that I am on Glucaphage (which is new since I’ve seen gyn. last). The nurse ran in and asked gyn whether I should start the clomid today and gyn told her "NO!" and since this PCOS diagnosis and Glucaphage that I will need to get my sugars under control and be on insulin injections before and during pregnancy!!!!! WHAT?!?! My glucose is 91 with reference range 60-114. There was no insulin test done so I don’t know about that part. I had gestational diabetes with my first and only pregnancy with a 9lb. 14oz. son delivered my c-section. She know all of that but I am really doubting that she has a clue about the PCOS stuff. She was calling it Syndrome X for awhile until I said, "I’m pretty sure that’s related but different from PCO". She agreed later!! Scary! Anyway… any similar experiences? Am I really going to have to take insulin injections? I thought once you started that stuff you were on it for good? The more I talk about it the more scared I get. Thanks everyone. Debbie K. – WA

Hi Debbie, No wonder you were scared! Why do they want to start with something as drastic as shots already? I have heard that lots of people have tried low carb diets and it has brought their insulin under control. I think I would try this before something drastic like shots. If you really are uncomfortable with your Dr, I would strongly suggest you switch to someone you will be more comfortable with. Tina
