Can you still have PCOS even if your periods are regular? Is there a risk of infertility in this situation? Should I be taking any medication for my acne? My DHT levels are normal, but my ultrasound shows bilateral polycystic ovaries. Is this different from PCOS? I'm worried about starting cytomid because of its side effects and considering I don't even have high DHT. Can you help me with these concerns about medication and PCO?

I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?
