Thank you.

When she saw her first Endocrinologist he asked her about family medical history... My mother actually died from cancer of uterus at the very early age of 34. The doctor had suggested that perhaps she had PCOS. (I would imagine that was unrecognized back then of course as that's 55 years ago)

She's taking Metformin and hormone therapy as well. Totally restricted diet. Exercizing and taking supplements. None of it is helping her almost sudden onset memory problems.

So, "insulin resistance" is diabetes or not?

I'm more concerned right now about the "neurodegeneration" aspects as mentioned in that article and if "insulin resistance" is in fact Diabetes or not?

Edited to add: Cushing's Syndrome. OK. Never thought of that. Gosh, she's had so much testing but will have to run that by her. I guess that's why I was worried the surgeon had taken the Adrenal gland by mistake. eeek

She is tiny. Did have skin problems for a number of years. Not now.

Thanks again.
