Hey girl don’t feel that way as someone with PCOS sometimes we need extra help and that’s okay because you’re still doing your part of going to the gym. Don’t feel bad

Make sure you have good blood sugar levels before a workout because all diabetics(including pre) are at greater risk of hypoglycemia during and post workout. Some medicines also contribute to this during a workout so it’s good to consult a doctor/exercise physiologist about how your medications affect your exercise response specifically

Just gotta remind yourself that it literally doesn't matter

the only people who are doing it “wrong” are the people who don’t have diabetes and are taking glp-1s anyway. hefty side effects and long term organ damage awaits them
