Hi Auditrix:
SPII differs mostly in that she adds another dimension to optimal health: balancing the triad of the major hormones insulin, adrenaline and cortisol.
I believe she referred to PCOS more in her first book dealing with insulin resistance. What remains to be seen, however, is whether you have burned out adrenal glands, which isn't addressed in her first book. If your adrenal glands are burned out, you should read SPII, if they aren't, stick with SPI. Question is, how do you determine this without reading the book.
IF you are both insulin resistant and have adrenal fatigue, the biggest difference would be your protein requirements and your saturated fat intake. In her second book, you reduce saturated fat if you have a degenerative disease, severely burned out adrenal glands, or can't exercise consistently.
I don't know what to suggest. I believe her second book was written to override her first book, but people having varying opinions on SPI vs. SPII. If you are curious, you could always borrow it from your local library or even browse through it at the book store.
Good luck,
Wanda
