pcos with insulin resistance moms come in

in Success after IF

i was so hoping that pregnancy "fixed" me but it appears to not be the case. my fasting numbers have been high (110-120 high). and i am going to have to start tracking my post meal numbers next week so my endo can decide how to proceed.

i am on nothing right now and was curious to see if anyone else had similar issues that were solved by taking metformin. these are higher fasting numbers than i had even during pregnancy before i was put on insulin so i am kind of bummed thinking i have full blown diabetes now.

    I admit I don't know a ton about PCOS, but those numbers are just a teeny bit above the normal range. Are you sure this is even an issue? (like I said, I don't know)

    I started met mostly just to make better eggs. But I will tell you, I no longer have those highs and lows, and my cravings and appetite has gone away. So it's doing something. Seems like a logical thing to consider taking, IMO.

    fasting numbers should be below 90, so i am def well above normal. i was on met pre and during pregnancy (before i started insulin) so figure that will be our first plan of attack.

    i really have like no noticeable highs and lows or cravings and i eat a modified version of my gestational diabetes diet so i am just bummed to still have these issues.

    My doc put me back on metformin in May after my annual check showed a fasting of 95.  It wasn't too high, but I had GD and my family has a strong history of type 2 diabetes, so he wanted to be 'safe'.  Since then my fasting numbers have been wonderful (in the 70-85 range).
