Abstract in brief

  • Most women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which can lead to reproductive and metabolic issues, and metformin is an effective treatment that could be used more broadly, especially in obese adolescents with signs of PCOS.
  • The severity of insulin resistance varies among women with PCOS and may not be a major concern in milder cases, so treatment should focus on specific problems rather than universally targeting insulin resistance.
  • Insulin-sensitizing medications like metformin are not always the best choice for every woman with PCOS, and treatment should be tailored to individual metabolic or reproductive needs.]

Weight problems, acne, and infertility are all linked to insulin resistance. That is why I recommend all #PCOS patients follow a workout and lifestyle that will decrease or even prevent insulin resistance. Watch more here: https://t.co/PRs1aH1KSG https://t.co/x3iXR85B2r
