Hi, It depends whether your periods are regular or not and all your hormones blood tests are normal. Also medicine alone cannot cure pcod, you also have to regular diet control (no maida items) and exercise.

Usually medications are not required in prediabetes.

Strict diabetic diet should be followed. All kinds of sugar or sugar products should be stopped.

Get your blood sugar fasting, pp and hba1c to assess the dose of metformin.
If these tests show acceptable values then continue metformin in the same dose otherwise modify it.
Please consult a physician who will try to findout cause of weight loss continuously.

Hello doctor, I am 25 years old female just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and feels like my world has fallen apart due to the disappointment. I had PCOS from past 8 years and I neglected it as I did not have much knowledge about it. I started putting on weight very fast and my periods started getting irregular and finally stopped. Now I get periods only if I take medicines. I consulted many gynecologists before, they gave meds but those meds had lot of side effects and my sugar levels used to go very low, hence I stopped taking meds for PCOS. Only when I did not get periods, I used to take primolut n for 5 days and used to induce periods artificially. I used to workout and diet but my weight was not reducing at all but my sugars were always low. I got married 8 months ago, started eating all sugary foods without any physical activity, thinking that my sugars are low and ended up getting high sugar levels all of a sudden to my shock. I checked 2 months ago, it was 180 mg fasting. Non fasting was 270. Then I started eating all bitter foods, started working out and my sugars came down to 215 in two days. Then I consulted a doctor, he gave me Cetapin XR 500 mg which has only Metformin as an active ingredient. Now my sugars are around 160-170 but not coming to normal. I am also taking PCOS medicines also. So my diabetologist told me it's because of those hormonal pills, sugars are not coming to normal. I am working out like crazy and stopped eating all carbs now. Now I have two questions? 1. Since, diabetes is progressive, how can sugar levels go up really that soon in a short span of 6 months from low sugar to high sugar levels without me going through pre-diabetes?(had checked my sugar levels 6 months ago and it was 99 mg after breakfast which is lower than normal) 2. Should I take real diabetic medications like glimepiride+metformin or just Metformin is enough? I am taking it thrice a day (500 mg*3).

Hi
Sorry about your condition.
If you are only 25, then this sounds more Juvenile Diabetes. Meaning, you might have has this problem since childhood. The best way to manage this would be Insulin Injections. Id have preferred an in person consult with you, to guide you through this sudden change.
Metformin is a real diabetes medicine, same as the others. And please do not self medicate. The underlying issue in both PCOS and Diabetes is the same, which is, impaired Insulin activity.more
