Yeah - some people have good luck with diet & exercise changes targeting blood sugar, others need metformin, but just filling us with the hormones our ovaries aren't making doesn't fix the problem.
I wish to hell this bizarre endocrine disorder had initially manifested in anything other than a "women's health" issue - they're so easily dismissed and ignored. I suspect an increasingly prevalent environmental trigger, but there just isn't a ton of research, at least not that I've seen. I admit I haven't looked recently.
On a fun note, I have F-to-M friends who are super jealous that I get free what they have to pay for. **grin**
