I've noticed a lot of younger women I talk to have mentioned that, like me, they have both Diabetes and PCOS.
My endocrinologist explained to me that my Diabetes was brought on by my having PCOS, which weakened an already genetically weak pancreas. I've apparently been living with PCOS, undiagnosed, for at least 12 years - and we're only now investigating it. (Additionally, my doc was confident that I am incapable of having children... which hasn't been all that wonderful to discover).
I'm wondering how many women here also have PCOS? And how long did you have PCOS before Diabetes? How linked are these two?
