Insulin resistance and HC

[Guest guest]

I just started HC and so far am up to 5mg; working my way up to my

optimal dose. I have PCOS so have been on metformin 500mg x 2 twice

daily since 2002. Anytime I have come off it I have gained weight.

However this is before I was diagnosed as hypothyroid. Now I am

thinking that all along my problems were from my thyroid.

Since I have started the HC I notice I have cravings and a greater

appetite in general. I am due my period which could be a cause but I

am wondering does anyone know anything about insulin and HC?

Does HC in a physiological dose worsen insulin resistance? What type

of relationship is there between insulin and the thyroid hormones? I

have read that it raises blood sugar but is that only in large doses?

I have been eating low carb of between 50-80 carbs for years. However

I am now on Atkins Induction of 20 carbs. It is Day 10 and I still

have hunger and cravings which normally would have gone by now. Is

this because of the HC or because metformin doesn't work well with

low carb? What should I do?

I have posted about this elsewhere but nobody seems to have a clue. I

just wanna dive into a vat of bread and donuts
