Over 6 million people in the U.S. (both adults and children) have undiagnosed diabetes. It could be possible based on some of your symptoms...not all of them fit though. But the only way to really know is through a blood test...
Diabetes Signs
Increased hunger, unexplained weight loss, frequent urination -- these red flags may indicate early symptoms of diabetes, but it could be something else as well. You really need to see a doctor. He will perhaps order a blood test (glucose tolerance) and perhaps other tests to check other things. There is nothing to be afraid of. It is better to know and find a treatment be it diet, pills or other, then to take the risk of damaging other organs because something is not under control. Don't be afraid, see a doctor!

Q.13 Cost of operation(in German Euro)?
Q.14 Is this treatment is covered in Health insurance?
Thank you from bottom of my Heart for replying this questions.
Q.1 How major is it? PCOS raises your risks of some bad things (certain cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes, blood clots, and heart disease)...However, if it is treated properly, these risks are lowered.
Q.2 Are there any risk in pregnancy? Women with PCOS tend to have higher risks of miscarriage, but that is easily combated with sticking with metformin during the first trimester. There is no evidence to suggest it raises any other risks in pregnancy.
Q.3 How soon i can get pregnant? You can start trying to conceive whenever you want. It might take awhile to figure out what combo of things will work to help you get pregnant. Some women get pregnant without any help, some need infertility treatments.
Q.4 What is the duration of treatment? PCOS is not curable, but treatable. This means that you should treat your PCOS for the rest of your life.
Q.5 This treatment is permanent cure or it will be life long? Life long.
Q.5 If it is life long what are the effects on future pregnancy/ mestural cycle/Menopause/Helath? PCOS can cause women to have trouble getting pregnant. It causes irregular periods and many women with PCOS don't ovulate. As far as menopause...it doesn't really affect it.
Q.6 Will it be normal delievery or C-section? PCOS does not affect what kind of delivery.
Q.7 Effect of Pcos in Baby? None.
Q.8 Risk of miscarriage or during Pregnancy? Slightly higher...but lowered to normal range with proper treatment of PCOS.
Q.10 After treatment effect on Obesity/Hair growth/Irregular periods/Skin problems?/Diabetes/? Most PCOS symptoms will go away or lessen with proper treatment.
Q.11 If drilling(Operation) what are the after effect? Normal recovery from laproscopic surgery. Risks of ovarian atropy. Ovarian drilling is often times a last resort. There is mixed opinions on it..and you should research it thoroughly before making a decision either way on this.
Q.12 How soon we can see the results of operation and how major is the operation? Ask your doctor. I'm not really sure.
Q.13 Cost of operation(in German Euro)? No idea.
Q.14 Is this treatment is covered in Health insurance? Depends on your insurance.
Here's some basic PCOS info and links for you:
PCOS is not curable, but is treatable and most women are able to get pregnant when the PCOS is treated correctly. Here's some basic PCOS info for you.
I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist. They are generally more knowledgeable about PCOS and the correct treatment. Unfortunately, many doctors are not aware of the proper treatment.
The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). The best treatment for PCOS is going on an insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin (1500-2550mg per day) combined with a low carb diet and exercise. There are a few important things to know:
1. Many women "pass" the test for IR, but still respond positively from the metformin. No one knows exactlly why..my thought is that the test is not a sure fire way of detecting the IR.
2. You must be on a high enough dose of metformin. I've heard women complain that their bodies dont start working even though they've been on metformin for awhile. Some doctors are hesitant to up the dose past 1500mg...but for some of us it takes more. I don't respond until my dose is around 2000mg a day.
3. It can take a few months on the correct dose, before your body is regulated.
4. It is important to treat your PCOS even if you are not trying to get pregnant. There are higher risks for many things (high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if it is treated properly, then those risks are lowered.
When the PCOS is treated properly, all of your symptoms may not disappear, but they should improve some. It will also be a lot easier to lose weight (and keep it off). Our bodies work against us when we try to lose weight on our own, making it nearly impossible to lose weight.
There are TONS of books about PCOS and dieting. There are two that I recommend. Here's the links at amazon for those:
http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0809224275/...
http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0007131844/...
I also recommend a couple web sites:
http://pcos.itgo.com/
http://www.inciid.org/faq.php?cat=infert...
http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhp... This one is a great message board where you can ask all your PCOS questions or just chat with the women who are also dealing with PCOS. Good luck.

My Sister in law phoned me this afternoon stating that her 2 year old was rushed to hospital and was then diagnosed with Jubinille Diabeties. This kid is fed on junk food ALL THE TIME! Her first solid was a french fry. The eat KFC, Macdonalds EVERY NIGHT. They would have a home cooked meal maybe once a month and when she stayed over here, to my horror, they had Coke and sweet biscuits for breakfast. I am not asking you to judge her parental skills nor the fact that she really needs to start feeding her Children properly - I am asking for information about how this is caused.
The medical profession isn't certain exactly what causes diabetes in children, otherwise known as type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes. For some unknown reason the organ called the pancreas shuts down.
It is important to understand that juvenile diabetes is different from type 2 diabetes, which occurs in adults and is usually related to a weight problem or otherwise unhealthy lifestyle.
I was diagnosed with type 1 when I was 12. My parents were health-food nuts and had never allowed me to eat junk food, candy, or soda during my childhood. I was an active and normal kid. There was no history of this disease in my family either.
My point is that no one really knows for sure why this happens. What I can tell you is that it will be a difficult thing to cope with at first. The parents of this child will need your support and understanding during this time. It sounds like it will be a huge adjustment for the whole family. If you cook yourself, then why not spend some time with them sharing healthy recipes? (There are also many diabetic cookbooks on the market now.)
Fortunately medical advances are being made all the time in the field of diabetes care, and this child should have a bright future ahead of her!

Where can I find smaller earpieces for my Littmann stethoscope?
I just purchased the Littmann Master Classic for $92 new. All the earpieces that came with it are too large for my small ears. I find myself needing a third hand sometimes, so that I can hold the earpieces in my ears properly!
Does anyone know where I can find even smaller earpieces for my Littmann stethoscope?
Yes, it came with both smaller and larger earpieces, but the smaller ones are still much too big! I've searched all over the Internet, but can't seem to find any extra-small earpieces!
Didn't your Littmann's come with any spares?
I have the same problem.
I brought a Rapport which has spare and smaller ear pieces.
You should be able to get some at a Medical Store.
They don't really think about and build stethoscopes for little ears like us.

my blood pressure goes up when to the doctors or ER im going for a stress test wont my pressure rise more?
since ill be on a treadmill and my blood pressure will be monitored , but as i said it goes higher while at the doctors so now i can only say my BP will go even higher then what its supposed to do will i even be able to do this stress test ?? is it safe for me to do this at all?
You'll be fine. The point of the stress test is to see how quickly and how high it gets I think (I had to take a few of them when I was younger). When I took mine it was to be sure that it wouldn't rise really really fast suddenly when exercising (or in my case at the time playing), otherwise you might be out for a run and suddenly keel over or something. Obviously if it gets too high on the test they'll stop you, then it'll go back down to where it normally is.
