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?
