Today we found out we have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My alloy prescribed Metformin as good as told me to go upon the diabetic diet, as good as practice 45 mins daily. Is there the site or book which will assistance me sense about this sort of diet? we know that, generally, there is reduction sugar, as good as the low volume of breads/pastas..but that's all we have right now.
In essence the diabetic diet is the food pyramid. To get the best results for your health, ask your physician for a referral to a dietitian. They'll be able to tailor a meal plan that suits your needs.
First, ask your doctor for a referral to a Diabetic Nutritionist.
That failing, try contacting the American Diabetes Association:

Most diabetics simply count carbs and adjust their insulin accordingly.
There is a lot of trash diabetes cook books and the like out there. Most simply of these cook books replace sugar with splenda or another sugar substitute and many have high fat to replace lost taste when sugar is reduced.
As the others have said – speak to a nutritionist to help you understand exactly how you should modify your diet. If the doctor simply wants you to reduce carbs ask about how many you should have in a meal. You need some carbs because that is your body's fuel.
If you just want to reduce carbs you can try following the South Beach or Atkins diets.
I suggest you check out this site, and especially this page.
They have lots of info. Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance is the inability to digest wheat, rye and barley gluten. I am gluten intolerant and had to have my ovaries removed because of multiple cysts. I have read posts from many women who have both conditions.

There is NO such thing as a diabetic diet!
I like the South Beach phase 2 food plan. It calls for equal portions of protein, fats and carbs. The carbs in the form of green and red fruits and veggies mostly.

all free sites, ultra secure with your info. Can set up the food planning site as you wish then ask it for help in menu planning. Such as meals at 100 grams carbohydrate per day, 75 grams fat per day, 125 grams protein per day. You actually only count the grams of carbohydrate.
PCOS is thought by some endocrinologists to being a precursor to type 2 diabetes. Maybe and maybe not. But for sure all the endocrine system is intertwined and when one portion of it goes bad, some more of it acts in sympathy and goes bad.
Eat low sugar, balanced meals with whole grains at regular times.
