So fast-forward... after researching, i experience i may hold cushings. the endo maked some tryouts, but stated that the effects for adrenal were o.k. so i would n't hold cushings, but my DHEA degrees were slightly promoted. this dr is now desiring to handle me with low dosages of both actos and Glucophage and told it could ensue in weight addition!!! it appears uneven to perscribe mortal assay to slim drugs that will do them derive. i 'm still not sold that this is a pcos thing.
can anyone drop any light on the affair?
Unless I 've buried my biology, DHEA is the precursor to testosterone, which is NOT the endocrine affected in Cushings.
While Glucophage can be utilized for both diabetes and PCOS, actos is simply utilized for diabetes, not for elevated androgens.
Endocrinology is highly complex. You really ask to see a specialiser ( endocrinologist ).
If you are developing diabetes, you may hold a difficult clip unloose weight, but any weight loss will meliorate your diabetic control, doing it easier to unloose weight. Yeah, I cognise, sounds like a viscious circle: - )
Like it or not, workout will make you very much of good, and not only with your weight, but your ability to utilise your ain insulin better, fortify your circulatory system, and amend your humour. E'er eat what you demand, not more, not less, and you should see some effects ( astonishing how we frequently we eat more we realise - does weight addition - or make not eat rather plenty - which can besides do weight increase ).
Finally, you should worry more about your overall wellness, not but your weight.
