Me and my boyfriend have been trying for a baby for almost a year and I’ve recently been diagnosed with PCOS and prescribed metformin. We’re feeling positive and hopeful but just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips that you think that helped you to fall pregnant naturally?

Hi all, hope everyone is coping with the very cold weather. Has anyone experience of these two illnesses and drugs causing one or both to worsen? My diet is pretty much under control and not changed. I’ve also managed to lose almost a stone in weight but my morning blood readings are going up…

Not about PCa but interesting: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists help with colorectal cancer
"A research letter recently published in JAMA Oncology has provided some promising insights into the potential of Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study involved a national retrospective analysis

My blood sugar is 254mg/dl after 1 hour of lunch
I had a lunch at 1 pm. It included one bowl (100gm) of white rice, sambar, a small cup of potato fry, another cup of vegetables, and 200ml of buttermilk. I took metformin 500mg before lunch and went for a 2km walk inside my office. Took a random blood sugar at 2:30 pm and was shocked to see the reading

GCA and type 2 diabetes
Hi all Warriors Since being on prednisone (since July 2023 at 60mg, now at l6mg) my A1C has slowly crept up. Had blood work yesterday and A1C is now at 7.1. I have been told by my rheumy this is steroid induced and will start going down as I taper. Even though I have been tapering by 1mg every 2

Pre-CRPC Supplements/Drugs - Potential Risks vs Rewards?
With some substances there could be a "tipping" point depending on the substance, the dosage and the patient's stage of cancer where the substance may have a higher chance of having a negative effect instead of positive. It usually relates to ROS levels. Adequate levels of ROS are important for cancer

When I lost 33lbs I found I was no longer in the Diabetic range. So it is possible and worthwhile! I no longer take Metformin. I have found I am not losing more weight for now despite still being quite restrictive in my diet. I have developed kidney stones which may be because I never ate much fat so

Liothyronin T3 and insulin resistance
I’ve been doing some research as my blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1C) have been persistently high despite exercise, low carb diet, weight loss and muscle gain. Prompted by the very wise SlowDragon that T3 can cause high sugars, I decided to delve deeper. I came across a lot of articles online
