Nikki,
Keep in mind that it can cause type 2 diabetes. Often people with PCOS are given diabetes medication as part of their treatment. One thing that people get confused about as is seen in this thread is that just because a carb is complex does not mean it is safer according to the glycemic index. So just choosing wheat products and avoiding processed sugar is not the answer. studies have also begun to show that dietary sweetners can still cause blood sugar to rise. It is suspected that our tastebuds may have something to do with it.

This site will give you info including a database of each many carbs index. I have been studying a lot about this recently because I am trying to get off diabetic medicine. I was very suprised to find that many of the ideas I had about what was a better carb were not true.
