Does PCOD leads to diabetes too?
I got diagnosed with PCOD recently.
I'm hearing a lot about becoming diabetic after being diagnosed with PCOD. Is it true? Should I get a test done for diabetes too? Can pcod be cured? I have irregular dates, hair loss, facial and abdomen hair. Recently got anxiety and depression too. Does controlling hormones brings anxiety and depression to Control too?
Regular periods . Weight reduction . Reduce refined carbs , sugars. Excercise regularly. If weight is not under contron can lead to diabetes specially with a family history.
PCOD cannot be cured but can be control its effects. Yes mood swings are a disorder with pcod due to hormones.
Next Steps
Be positive. Follow a regular regime.Visit your gyno to guide you further.
