If you have PCOS…. did it cause you to develop diabetes?

I found out I have PCOS and Hashimotos. I am overweight but have been losing since I have began treatment for both conditions… so I now know the weight gain was psrtially due to the 2 conditions. Being overweight can cause diabetes as well as PCOS so it’s like I have been hit with a double whammy! Have you developed diabetes due to PCOS? I know it can happen but is it a common thing?
oppps- I meant to say partially!

    I have met a couple that were diagnosed with Diabetes while dealing with PCOS but most of the ones I’ve met that have insulin problems because of PCOS were dealing with Insulin Resistance (the step below full blown Diabetes).

    Only 50% of women with PCOS have problems with insulin and Diabetes issues.
