Don't need diabetes: Diabetes isn't a criteria to diagnose pcos. However, dm can be associated with pcos. Lots of reasons women have irregular periods and difficulty conceiving. Pcos is most common reason but not the only.

Could well be PCOS: To diagnose pcos, we need 2 out of 3 of: 1. Irregular periods 2. Clinical signs like acne, hair growth and/or blood tests showing too much male-type hormones (androgens) 3. Ultrasound appearance of polycystic ovaries: high volumes or antral follicle counts. Also need to "rule out" other causes of irregular cycles: thyroid, prolactin, adrenal gland issues. See a fertility specialist (rei) for help.
