PCOS

In the context of diabetes, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a condition that can impact insulin resistance and glucose metabolism. Women with PCOS are at higher risk for:

  • Insulin Resistance: Reduced effectiveness of insulin, leading to higher blood glucose levels.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to metabolic disturbances.
  • Obesity: Often associated with weight gain, which can exacerbate insulin resistance.

Management involves lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, along with medications that address both PCOS symptoms and insulin resistance.
