i've been reading many posts and it seems most people have pcos due to insulin problems. everything is fine with me other than having pcos. i was just wondering how many other people don't have insulin problems. one of my sisters has pcos and the other one is being tested now. and i have two cousins (their mother is my father's sister) have it as well.

New evidence is suggesting that all women with PCOS have some form of insulin resistance - they are actually thinking that the IR causes PCOS!

my dad and aunt both are type 2 diabetics and my lil bro if tested is likely at least insulin resistant. all three of them have weight issues and have had a hard time loosing weight and or keeping it off. pretty sure it is hereditary to some degree at least in my case.

like Rc1 said women with PCOS typically have what they call "insulin resistance". it may or may not show up in your bloodwork, or you may be termed "pre-diabetic". it all depends i guess though because it does seem to affect everyone a little differently.

I just found out today that I have PCOS and the doctor said that I have no insulin problems but I have a major thyroid issue I don't know how to handle this. I am worried that I may never get pregnant when my boyfriend and I make that step to the future. Both my mom and grandmother had a lot of issues with getting pregnant but they have not been diagnosed with PCOS.
