" Insulin resistance — a condition some people get by eating too many carbohydrates — leads to sustained high levels of insulin in the bloodstream. It is possible that this extra insulin hitches into the receptors lining the ovary and stimulates cyst production. This is an issue that should be monitored because women with insulin resistance have a much higher risk of developing other serious health problems, like diabetes. On the bright side, women with insulin resistance and PCOS respond very well to modifications in their diet, adding nutritional supplements, and beginning an exercise program. We’ve found that our patients often get normal periods as their insulin levels normalize." by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP and Marcy Holmes, NP, Certified Menopause Clinician
