hi Jenny,

We had a discussion about depo provera a few months ago. You might want to read about it here. Depo can cause problems with glucose tolerance and increased insulin resistance. In fact, they caution against using it for diabetic women. Low-CARB in fact, not low-FAT would be the diet of choice to cope with this side effect.

It's a trade-off. Depo provera is such an effective contraceptive, and convenient .. but the side effects are significant.

Good luck with your choices,

Doreen
