Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..
I would like to know whether she had regular periods or was is delayed always.. Delayed periods with hyperinsulinemia is an indicator of polycystic ovarian disease.. It can be confirmed by getting a scan done which will show periferally arranged follicle with thicken stroma in the ovary..
This is not an indicator of type 2 diabetes.. But if the insulin level remains uncontrolled, she is likely to develop diabetes in future..
Glycomet SR is prescribed to reduce the insulin level and bring it back to normal so that she will have normal ovulation and hence a regular cycle..
Yes, she will have to repeat insulin after 3 months of taking glycomet SR.. She need to take good diet control and exercise to prevent the acceleration of PCOS..
Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
