They will run tests to see if you could be Diabetic, check kidney function with a 24 hour urine test, check other hormone levels such as testosterone, thyroid.
Women with PCOS are also prone to possibly getting osteoporosis if they have irregular periods because of the PCOS.
I take the birth control pill along with a water pill called Aldactone to help me with my PCOS.
As for how I deal with it I just take it one day at a time and have also created a good support network for myself.
There are some excellent message boards at the following site: http://www.pcosupport.org
