Insulin Resistance
Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas responsible for balancing the amount of glucose or blood sugar. However, medical circumstances make the body insulin-resistant. Patients with this condition tend to mess up the body’s androgen production, resulting in several reproductive complications. In fact, 88 percent of female patients who are insulin resistant are also suffering from irregular periods and abnormal ovulation cycles.
To go more into detail, if an individual is insulin resistant, this may be the root cause of having a PCOS condition. Patients with PCOS may even develop prediabetes and type 2 diabetes symptoms. If left untreated, this condition can lead to blindness, vascular diseases, and decreased energy. As such, this is something that every woman should monitor, for this might put her in danger.
A 2017 study of Danish women discovered that those with PCOS are more likely to have type 2 diabetes. For this reason, one should undergo screening or proper testing to meet the problem earlier before it worsens.
