How To Reduce Insulin Level And Weight While Having Prediabetes Symptoms?

Doc,

My sister living in India has been diagnosed with PCOS, Polycystic ovary syndrome. Her insulin level is very high...35 now. She is taking Glucophage 850 three times a day and another tablet Diane 21 to regulate her menstrual cycle. She is over weight and she cant help to reduce it. She tries sometimes to walk and exercise but till now she is not getting any results. Her weight is 82 kgs. She is 28 years old and no she doesn't have diabetes right now but her doc (endocrinologist) said that those are pre-diabetic symptoms. And as we have a family history of diabetes (both my parents and my grandparents were diabetic) so she also is going towards it.











So what would you suggest me to do to bring down her insulin level and to maintain her weight.?

She has been diagnosed with this over 2 years ago. First she was taking glucophage 2 times a day (250 mg) and now last year when she went to a new doc (endocrinologist) she wrote more than 20 blood tests and abdomial, ovarian ultra sounds. After seeing the results she told her that it's good that her blood pressure is under controlled/normal. (120/80) and then she said its a slow process and we need to treat more than one thing. To keep your hormones working normally.

Her estrogen or progesterone cycle had some problems. Over that time she didn't menstruate for 6-7 months. But now after taking diane, her menstrual cycle has become normal. And doc she doesn't have pregnancy issues.she just want to get NORMAL. Her body weight is causing a lot of trouble to her. IShe doesn't eat much but yes she has a cravings for sweets.



Last year her insulin level was 25 but now even when she has started taking Glucophage 3 times a day with the dosage of 850 mg. her insulin level has increased to 35 this year. She doesn't know what to do. Currently from june 2010 sheI has stopped taking both the medicines. Glucophage and diane. Her doc is writing her hundreds of tests from the well known and very expensive laboratory here and I can't seem to afford them and her high fees everytime. Please help me what to do? I am very confused and tensed about my situation.



she has facial hair, and she hasn't taken any medicine for them till now. she just go with the face wax, 2 times a month.



Everyone tells me if her weight goes down everything will be alright. Is that so? But I cant help her weight. Her BMI is 35 right now.



Please if you can suggest what should I do now. I just want to get rid her of it and be normal as soon as possible.
