Actually, my specialist is an Endocronologist Gynecologist.
And he said that what i am doing ( low carb ) is what he highly advises.
My carbs are not ridiculous low levels, I average anywhere from 45-65 carbs a day. Some days higher some days lower.
I have had my insulin levels checked 3 times since starting lowcarb in Jan. of 04. and where they were once extremly high levels, now are closer to getting into the normal range. I have also had follow ups on lipid profiles and my results are extremly encouraging ; Soooo much better than when I was lowfat-lowcal. It is the increase in intake of good natural fats that have allowed my HDL to increase and my triglycerides to lower drasticly. Without healthy meats , tons of green lower carb vegies, and moderate to high healthy fat intake, My blood work would be a disaster. Just as it was prior to lowcarb.
So whether the PCOS came first or the insulin resistance came first no one knows for sure. But GYN said I would have continued to get worse if I had not taken these steps to help correct the problem.
I also had the comprehesive hormonal tests that is where my high estrogen levels were DX. As well as an Ultrsound of the pelvis both abdominal and trans vaginal.
He does not suggest I have a hysterectomy ( even at my age of 48 ) That is why he suggested the Endometrial Ablation procedure. He says that accoring to my hormonal blood results I show no signs of entering into menopause yet.
It is so frustrating to think that after all of these years I have gone like this and had I known about this 30 years ago how different my life would have been.
I appreciate your suggestion of the book. I am the kind of person who rearches everything. Must be because I have been in the medical field for over 20 years. It is in my blood I quess
Anyway is sounds like it is informative and I will look into it. I will evaluate it's contents and compare it to other research. Thanks
