Tried

Inositol Low-Carb Diet

Combining inositol with a moderate low-carb approach was my endocrinologist's suggestion. After 4 months my cycles went from absent to roughly every 38 days. My fasting insulin improved and I lost about 3kg. The sugar cravings in the first fortnight were intense but they passed. I feel this combination addresses the insulin resistance underlying my PCOS better than anything else I've tried.
