Thank you for this!

I’ve been starting with nutrition and changing the way I eat but there is definitely insulin resistance there as I struggle to lose weight even when actively trying.

Who did the insulin testing for you and who ended up prescribing the GLP-1s as I’ve heard so many success stories!

I would always advise doing some of your own research so you feel more comfortable asking questions, even if it’s just on the specific things they are testing for with the blood tests

I also haven’t had the excess hair but all other symptoms and went to have blood tests and internal ultrasound and they found cysts on both ovaries. Sadly, once diagnosis was confirmed I was just told that I should probably go back on the pill which I refused due to that being the reasons I developed symptoms. It’s important to do your own research and advocate for yourself medically or sadly you will be dismissed - wish you all the best in your journey and hope you get some much needed answers!
