I couldn't take YAZ. Not for your reason, but it shot my blood sugars up by 50+ points. I had a lot of side effects on it too, and none of my doctors were ever sure if they were linked to the diabetes. I had migranes, insomnia, and serious mood problems. I was on it for 2 years, and I HATED it. It isn't really all it is cracked up to be with the PMDD thing either. It makes some people worse. There are tons of forums on YAZ if you google it.
