This results in devastating effects:

• Insulin, which acts like a key in a lock, is less effective in opening up the cell and allowing glucose in to be converted to energy.
• Without enough receptor sites, insulin bounces off the cell and enters the blood stream where it causes a variety of conditions including unbalanced hormones such as in PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and Cardiovascular Disease.
• Unable to enter the cell, glucose is converted to fat, leading to weight gain which can result in obesity.
• Eventually many health-related functions fail and cause numerous serious diseases besides PCOS, such as Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) and Pre-Diabetes leading to Type 2 Diabetes.

Sugar craving is a sign, and I definatly have that!  I can't stay out of the cookies, cake, icecream, which by the way is sounding really tempting right now.  But when I'm off of sugar all together for a couple weeks, I no longer crave it.  Then this weekend when Berylac had his birthday, I had some cake and icecream, icecream another time and a dounut once, resulting in a horrible Monday.  I about went nuts craving sugar and sweets!  I couldn't hardly stand it!  What I need to do is get some fructose and bake some whole wheat cookies with fructose in them.  I use to cook and bake with only fructose and loved it, but when we moved back to Indiana, I got away from it because I didn't have a handy place to get it.  Now we have plenty of places close by where I can get it. 

I also think that the hormones in our meat, eggs and dairy products don't help the PCOS at all.  So this week I have a goal to get to the Co-op and get a membership and start purchasing some of that stuff in organic form.  Todo is a little hesitant about Organic Milk, but I can't see why it would taste any differant than regular, it just doesn't have the hormones from the food the cows ate.  So we'll see.  I've also decided that while the NutriSystem diet is the best diet to be on for this, I can cook it at home!  It's just the Glycemic Index and I have 2 cookbooks and a shopping guide on the way for the Glycemic Index.  That is cooking with good carbs and not the bad ones.  In dropping the Nutrisystem diet, I will be able to afford the organic meats, eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt as well as take the 7 elements from the website I listed above: Inulite. 
Oh, and I didn't even explain what PCOS is!  Here's info from the same site:

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a major cause of infertility. This condition is also known as polycystic ovaries, Sclerocystic Ovarian Disease, Stein-Leventhal Syndrome, Chronic Anovulatory Syndrome and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD).

It is the most common female endocrine (hormonal) disorder and is characterized by multiple abnormal ovarian cysts. Most ovarian cysts are harmless, fluid-filled sacs containing immature eggs that attach to the ovaries. But multiple cysts, with a typical appearance of “a string of pearls” or “pearl necklace”, are a hallmark of PCOS. An estimated 5-10% of women of childbearing age are affected by PCOS and it is one of the leading causes of infertility. Post-menopausal women can also suffer from PCOS.

This condition can be a silent killer. Since the symptoms of PCOS can vary so widely from woman to woman, doctors very often misdiagnose the condition. This oversight became a matter of critical concern after a study conducted in 2000 found that women suffering from PCOS have a higher risk of coronary heart disease.

Symptoms of PCOS can include excessive weight gain and obesity, irregular, heavy or completely absent periods, ovarian cysts, excessive facial or body hair, Alopecia (male pattern hair loss), acne, skin tags (growths from the skin), Acanthosis Nigricans (brown skin patches) high cholesterol levels, exhaustion or lack of mental alertness, decreased sex drive and excess male hormones.
