Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is only mention of medication being taken. That does not give any idea about how is the actual glucose control, because there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, lipid profile, extent of daily exercise and bp readings.

The medicine you are taking contains metformin which helps in reducing insulin resistance, but does not really help in reducing excess facial hair growth. You need to consult your dermatologist again regarding this. Laser hair removal is the only solution for permanently reducing hair growth in case of PCOS.

In pt of pcod there is increased insulin resistance ,metformin being a insulin sensitizer drug decreases the insulin resistance, it also helps in reducing wt and in ovulation. Total dose is 1500 mg taken in 2 or 3 divided doses.
Lifestyle changes for wt reduction should also be adopted.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
First and foremost is to achieve a strict blood glucose control with FBG <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. When that is achieved, with proper diet and exercise you can build a good physique, plus remain quite fit. That will help in postponing the long term complications of diabetes or prevent them.
As regards the diet chart or diet required has to be based on your weigh (ideal weight), present dietary habits and the need for either weight re...more
