Thanks you so much Dilly & Mark. You both had excellent explanations & really helped me to understand what my Dr. was telling me. I am a full blown Type 2 Diabetic but I also have PCOS (my husband & I are trying to conceive), and I'm Insulin Resistant. I am taking Fortamet (extended release form of Metformin b/c the regular kept me sick), Januvia, and Tricor (for my cholesterol).

I am on a diet, or should I say lifestyle change. I can't remember who put it that way but I liked it, and it's definitely a lifestyle change. I have my snacks during the day and my breakfast consists of Kashi or yogurt, and my lunch & dinner is almost always a Lean Cuisine. As you mentioned, I need to keep my carbs down in order to bring my insulin levels down, so are eating the Lean Cuisines ok? They aren't outrageous in carbs! I also exercise daily; Advanced Tae Bo and I am about to start switching it up by walking at least 30 minutes every other day! Is this a good plan? Will it help my insulin levels to come down?

And, I didn't realize by getting pregnant my insulin levels could affect the baby! Wow. Diabetes & Infertility really do play off of each other, so I am treating 2 different problems (Diabetes & PCOS) with the same treatment. Awesome! LOL! I am so motivated to make this work, to lose a few pounds, and rid of these problems ... and of course to get pregnant. Thanks so much!!
