Hello everyone
I was diagonsed with polycystic ovariam syndrome in sept last year. My ac1 level was 6.2 and I was told I was pre-diabetic.
Some of the things I was experiencing
- excessive hunger ( i would eat and then 45-60 min later id be starving-)
- rapid weight gain
- fat accumulation around belly and hips
-acne
I was put on metformin 500 mg once a day and saw very little changes to my weight.
I did a ac1 test again and got 6.1. I explained to the doctor that metformin isnt helping me. The doctor said stop taking it and see how I go. Will take another test next month to see ac1 level. I woke up one random morning and took a fasting blood sugar test the one where you pinch your finger. I got 6.8 reading.
Im working out 5-6 times a week involving 30 min cardio and 2 classes of strength training. Im trying to do low gi and low carb but im just ALWAYS hungry and to top it up ive put on 4 kg in the last 2 weeks and wake up looking 3 months pregnant!
Im not sure what to do im simply depressed I use to be so skinny
