Tooth problems and chronic disease

My reading of PCOS is that the latest thinking suggests it’s part of metabolic syndrome. Perhaps more related to grains.

I could be wrong though. It’s not my chosen specialist subject.
 
I have in the past where over a few years have had all my back teeth removed.
The past few months ago, I saw a new dentist as my last one retired.
As soon as I spoke, he knew some ting was wrong. He referred me to hospital to see the oral surgeon and also the ENT surgeon. It turns out I have sjogrens, which in turn had affected my teeth with a chronic dry mouth causing decaying teeth. So I say, it's not due to my diabetes
 

This is a very basic overview of PCOS, form a government health standpoint, not from the somewhat more enlightened standpoint that some of us here adopt

Insulin resistance is a major factor (please note, I do not say 'cause') in PCOS, and eliminating grains has done absolutely diddly squat to relieve any of my hormone disruption and most of my PCOS symptoms. It may have reduced my IR a little, but there is still plenty of IR to go around, so again, I have no intention of believing that eliminating grains will remove the syndrome.

Yes, once I'd realised what insulin resistance was, I figured it was probably the root of all problems. Might be too simplistic to see it that way but it makes sense somehow.
