MissPerry, first, schedule with your doctor a fasting blood test for your blood sugar. Next, check previous results from physicals. Blood glucose or a1c tests are generally included in physicals, so you may be able to see your past results and determine risk. Check the medication you're taking for the PCOS. MANY MEDICATION CAN CAUSE DIABETES. Do some online research and clean up your diet. Organic- Paleo is effective for controlling typeII diabetes.
Finally, treat your whole body. PCOS can be caused by thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is not easily diagnosed and is often masked, resulting in a myriad of health problems. Because of your blurred vision and constant hunger, I'd have a FULL thyroid panel done. You likely will get a doctor trying to diagnose based solely on TSH test. That's fine for people who have TSH that shows thyroid dysfunction, but the thyroid can be out of whack in many places in the feedback loop, so if for people with multiple undiagnosed health problems, a full thyroid panel is important.
Hope that helps!

Hiya I'm not on any medication for my polycystic ovaries until I get my weight down I'm am on a low fat diet because of the ovlatine I'm taking to get my weight down which I've been take ing nearly two months and it hasn't helped a bit... If I don't have something fizzy or somthing with sugar in it I feel so lathargic.. Before my diagnosis of PCOS I had to have a full blood work done to check my hormone testosterone levels then I had to go for a scan to check my ovaries.. I have a doctors appointment on the 27

However, eventually, my thyroid completely shut down and I was forced to take thyroid medication.
Part of of the thyroid problem is the caffeine-sugar-chocolate Merry-go-round. You feel sluggish, boost with caffeine, crash, boost with sugar, crash, boost with chocolate, crash, sleep, caffeine...
