[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1123873, member: 269388"] Hi there...we have some ladies here with PCOS and diabetes....myself included. As already mentioned...Metformin is something that will help regulate things, but won't help you with weight loss. As for your hunger bangs...something I used to suffer myself too. My trigger for excessive hunger was carbonated drinks and alcohol. Not that I used lot of alcohol anyway but just couple of glasses of wine and I was SOOOO HUNGRY. So without saying...no more of those liquids...or very rarely :rolleyes: Carbs will fuel hunger feeling too , no matter how 'good' they might be. I also ditched looong ago any margarines (man made fats) and turned using butter....and now when I have taken on LCHF diet....increasing fats in my diet means that I rarely feel 'head' hunger at all....only real 'tummy is empty/no energy left' hunger. Fat intake will help your with your hormone 'works' too, carbs don't. The good news is...that both conditions can be eased if not bought totally under control by diet changes. Although PCOS is hormonal thing...and you might need some sort of hormone treatment to bring it under control, what you eat and how your blood sugars are kept under control will have big effect....both conditions often go hand in hand. Have you had blood tests done to check your hormone balances? [/QUOTE]
