Welcome Crekha. I'm sure your doctor will draw blood work at your appt. that will let you know where you stand diabetes-wise.

Metformin is often given with PCOS, to help with insulin resistance. It will also regulate your menstrual cycle if that is an issue. I was quite irregular until starting metformin, but have had a regular monthly cycle since then.

Let us know how your doctor's appt goes. Having a more active and healthier lifestyle will benefit you whether you have diabetes or not.
