the Relationshship Between Pcos, Diabetes And Hyperthyroidi Posted: 01-29-04 15:26pm
If I had irregular periods throughout my
teen years and then when I was 21 I was
diagnosed with diabetes and a few months
later with hyperthyroidism did one thing
lead to the next and could anyone of them
been avoided if the other was treated
properly. I basically want to know if
they are related and if yes with proper
treatment avoid more complications

Pcos .... Posted: 11-10-05 15:07pm
I had irregular periods all the time
growing up, and yet I never went to the
doctor to check it out. Because of that
I developed diabetes.
If I had been treated for pcos I could of
avoided diabetes.
My friend was diagnosed with pcos and was
treated she never developed diabetes.
Hope this helps

Hi I am new. I was diagnosed with pcos in
march of last year and then diabetes in
october. I go to a pcos forum and have
learned a lot about it. Pcos and insulin
resistance goes hand in hand. I have also
heard that hypothyroidism has to do with
pcos as well. I think I have had pcos
since I was young but my dr never told me
and now I am paying for it. The things
you do for pcos is just watching your carb
intake and you can get on some meds if you
want to have a baby and are having
problems. I have heard there is medicine
as well if you get a really long period.
I have the opposite problem and don't get
periods unless I take something. It is
important to get one at least every three
months so I take prometrium(progesterone
pill). If you would like to check out the
pcos forum I can give you the web address.
I hope this at least gives you some info
you may not have known.

All of these condtitions could have been
avoided if the .Dr's had looked into the
hormone imbalances in our bodies. Yes,
they could have been avoided, but I do not
know if they can be reversed by taking of
the proper hormones. Weight gain is
also involved and has to do with these
same hormones. Sleeping too much and
depression can also be linked together
with these. One hormone being off,
changes the other hormone balances.
Etc, etc.... I have just been
researching it for my daughter, because
she has a bad weight problem, and hardly
eats at all, been diagnosed with pcos, but
started having normal periods after her
baby, depression, probably hypothyroid
also--has not of yet been checked,
gestational diabeties with her baby, and
borderline diabeties now, I am sure of
it.
Edit--the .Dr's told her possibly pcos,
but I do believe she has it. I dont
remember if we had the hormone tests done
for it or not, but I know they were
ordered for her to do.

I know pcos is for life. There is no way
to get away from it. You can just get the
symptoms under control. Good luck to your
daughter.
