Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Treatment: So you should have your numbers measured with a 2 hours test. Likely you would need some medicines to lower your Insulin and sugars. Also if your periods are not totally regular this may be a sign of an underlying hormone disorder. Likely diet alone is not enough.
