Deep dives

Connection Between PCOS and Diabetes

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked to insulin resistance, which significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Research indicates that over half of individuals with PCOS may develop type 2 diabetes by the age of 40 due to this insulin resistance. The condition is often underdiagnosed, leaving many unaware of their risks until later stages. Regular testing for A1C levels and fasting glucose is crucial for early detection and management of these conditions.
