hi i have pcos and am on metformin 500mg twice a day to help with it i already have high cholesterol and am 38 my dad his father were diabetics as is my granny and aunty on my mothers side my blood sugar levels today were 9.2 (uk) should i be worried
 
Worried about what exactly?

It's quite common to have both diabetes and PCOS (either form of diabetes). I have T1 and PCOS. As far as I know PCOS is thought to be related to increased insulin levels and if you have insulin resistance as many T2s do and some T1s, then you require more insulin.... that's very simplified but it's the basic idea.

What are your concerns?
