A member asked:

Can ovarian cysts effect blood sugar? i had one rupture recently and have been having high & low blood sugar issues for 2 weeks. also on bcp's

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Bcps in pcos are not a great idea because they increase Insulin resistance and then affect blood sugar. See if you can stop the bcps and go to Glumetza 2.5 g per day. The ovarian cyst by itself will not affect blood glucose. Cj glueck md.
