weight - endocrinologist
Pls help me. I suffer with insulin resistance and PCOS. I am constantly on diet and seem to get nowhere. I have been to a very well known dietitian who has written several books on Syndrome X, After a year with her I was exactly the same weight as I had started. I went to a GP who prescribed Glucophage and once a week I had vitamin B injections to help. I have been on every diet, Sureslim, Weighless, Atkins, etc. I am approx 20kgs overweight and I don''t exercise as much as I should, but surely with all the effort that I put in I should be able to lose some weight! am at my wits end. Do I just come to terms with this horrible battle or would an Endocrinologist be the right route for me to go? And if so how do I find one in Jhb that specialises in weight lossn pcos and insulin resistance?
Thanks for your advise.

It will be an excellent idea to consult an endocrinologist, as they specialise in hormonal abnormalities, which could be the possible cause for your inability to loose weight. Contact your nearest hospital for the details of an endocrinologist in your area.
Please remember that exercise will burn excess calories. Try a rigorous exercise regime.
