[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2118031, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial] Don't get me started on this subject! :). The only thing I can say is, our doctors, and even specialists just can't have been trained in the relationship between food, insulin resistance and PCOS. We can safely say they weren't. And it is our bad luck that fertility is the first thing that gets affected by blood glucose/insulin dysregulation (for men too, it seems, to do with blood flow issues, shall we say). The knowledge was there, but the connections were not made? It seems so. With the knowledge that was actually 'out there', ie about insulin and blood glucose, and hormone regulation, women like us who began with compromised ovary function should never have gone on to type two diabetes. But those connections were just not made - with what we are eating. At least my longterm doctor was able to diagnose me, and kept an eye on me, so when I did become type two, she was on to it. But she was not able to prevent it. And, in fact, gave me wrong-minded dietary advice when I started getting lipid issues, prior to my type two and gallbladder issues. I mention these things with armed with what I know now - they were all signposts to change what I was eating. But, who knew? Not my doctors. Nor even the specialists. Certainly not me. But you do now, which is wonderful. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
