[QUOTE="Freezinfeet, post: 747234, member: 156465"] I'm confused, I'm just over the threshold for both type 2 diabetes and cholesterol, but immediately they started me on metphormine and statins. I started the metphormine 500mg slow release, as yet I havent taken statins. My mother is type 2 diabetic and I was insulin intolerant due to PCOS. These two factors made me high risk genetic predisposition I'm afraid. There is heart disease on my father's side of the family, I think the doctors have jumped the gun...I haven't been offered any dietary advise at all from the medical professionals, merely prescribed pills. I realize I need to take more care of my health now I have OFS....over forty syndrome but surely I shouldn't be written off just yet? [/QUOTE]
