diabettes /pcos
|
I have been to hospital for the past ten yrs.Many yrs ago for heavy periods it was called a scrape which i had done in the early 90'.They don't do this now for heavy periods I have had trouble with heavy periods and i have had fibroids removed.They talked about hysterectomy to me once but to go through this i would have to loose weight.I went back to see my GP many yrs ago with another problem and said "DR what causes women to have hair on the faces" he told me one or two things and i was sent to hospital for tests.I'm not sure if it was the Gynacologist that tested me for pcos when i saw them about fibroids i haven't got pcos but i'm having similar symptoms to women who have this facial hair/excess weight.The DR i saw about my hair growth on the face said that my skin looked dull around my neck and said i was lacking in insulin so thats where the tests started to see if i was diabetic.When my blood tests came back they said that i wasn't diabetic and so that things didn't get worse i had to take Metformin.Thank you so much for telling me about Metformin and Glucophage.When i was tested it came back ok and not diabetic but had to take this tablet so that i wouldn't get worse and because i stopped taking the tablets the pains in my back went.I recently went to see my doctor and said i felt thirsty alot and had to go for more blood tests and this time i'm told i'm type 2 diabetic.
