[QUOTE="Juliapb, post: 2306443, member: 530313"] Hi I can only say I understand ( had PCOS diagnosed since 21) have lost the same 4 stone about 6 times! the only thing that works For me -is extreme low carb diet / fasting and exercise - recently lost 2 stone in 2 months being super strict on this and lost my lock down pounds - I’m 47 and weight loss certainly doesn’t get easier as u get older ! Read Jason Fung / grain brain books it really helps understand what’s going on - Keto ( and trying to stay in Keto is my aim but very difficult with blood sugar fasting at 6.3! )set yourself a Mini goal, read up on PCOS research - I can’t believe my doctors have never mentioned insulin resistance or recommended low carb diet.

I've dealt with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) most my life, I could write a book on it. I've still struggled over the years, having lost 3 stone a few years ago, I took my eye off the ball and 'forgot' all my hard work and lifestyle routine and find myself now the heaviest ive ever been in my entire life at 46. I'm in a lot of pain all over, and find it difficult to lift my legs, and walking hurts. Last week, bloods showed that my HbA1c level was 51. As I'm PCOS, I'm already on metformin. I just feel so lost knowing I may now have diabetes and not sure if I should go back to my very stringent diet of completely cutting out all forms of sugar in my diet. I'm wondering how to approach this. Most diabetes cookbooks have recipes I'd normally consider off limits for PCOS as even fruit has sugars. Thanks for reading.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
