I am Ganapathi and I have juvenile diabetes (type 1diabetes) since the age of 9 years. I have had diabetes for the past 22 years. I am here to talk about my experience and the way things are right now after meeting Dr. Usha Ayyagari. I have been visiting Apollo Sugar Clinics for the past one year. I can clearly see the difference before visiting Apollo Sugar and after consulting Dr. Usha Ayyagari. Previously, I was not aware of carbohydrate counting. I was only on insulin therapy and not on an insulin pump. I have found carbohydrate counting very useful. I am able to eat the foods I want with carbohydrate counting. I am experiences the advantages of being on an insulin pump. I am also glad to say that the team here at Apollo Sugar is great and I have never been disappointed. Big thanks to Apollo Sugar.

FAQ's

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder which affects women mainly during the age which is ideal for child bearing. Due to this hormonal imbalance women produce higher than normal levels of the male hormone.

Common and obvious symptoms of PCOS are:

  • Irregular menstruation- infrequent, severe or abnormal periods.
  • Obesity or being overweight despite a normal diet
  • Hirsuitism or unwanted facial or body hair
  • Infertility or the inability to conceive a baby
  • Hair loss without any cause
  • Skin problems like acne, oily or dry skin

PCOS/PCOD symptoms and even some causes are very treatable. There are medications for almost every symptom. Medication is suggested in the case of irregular menstruation, skin problems like acne, hirsutism and hair loss.

A stray facial hair, especially on the upper lip and chin is quite common in women. When there is a hormonal imbalance then women tend to produce more testosterone which is a male hormone.

This leads to more hair on the face of the woman and also excessive hair growth on arms and legs. The occurrence of facial hair usually starts at the pre – menopause or menopause stage, but can start earlier depending on the severity of hormonal imbalance.
