Insulin Resistance -Solution to PCOS Problem

• Early Detection of Insulin Resistance Can Solve
  PCOS Puzzle!

Do you wonder what is causing your PCOS? What
could be the solutions to PCOS problem?

• If you could just identify what is causing it,
  possibly you could remove the cause and this
  disease would go away.  Or at least be much
  easier to manage.
• For the majority of women with poly-cystic ovary
  syndrome, a primary cause of symptoms is the
  presence of a medical condition called insulin
  resistance.  Insulin resistance simply means
  your cells are resistant to or are
  under-responding to the hormone insulin.

• Therefore, insulin cannot efficiently tell the
  cells to store blood sugar or perform a multitude
  of other tasks.  The result is that the entire
  body is thrown into a state of imbalance and
  distress, leading to weight gain, belly fat,
  ovulation problems, mood disorders, and skin and
  hair issues.
• But heres the tricky part.  Not everyone with
  PCOS also has insulin resistance or do they? 
  Its estimated that somewhere between 50-80 of
  women with poly-cystic ovarian syndrome have
  insulin resistance.  But why is there such a wide
  variation in these estimates?  And how do you
  know if you have it?
• It may be that part of the problem is in how
  insulin resistance is defined and how it is
  measured and diagnosed.  We wont go into the
  weeds on this complex issue but lets cover a
  couple of high points.
• Its important to know whether you have insulin
  resistance because if its left unidentified and
  untreated, the long-term consequences could be
  disastrous.  You could end up with diabetes,
  heart disease, cancer, Alzheimers or any other
  degenerative disease.

As a first step -

• A doctor can get a pretty good idea of insulin
  resistance by looking at you, your medical
  history and some simple blood test results.  For
  example, if you have a lot of abdominal fat,
  darkened skin patches, high blood fats and high
  blood sugar levels, and a family history of
  diabetes, one might presume you have insulin
  resistance.  But thats a presumption.  It would
  be nice if you could make health decisions based
  on more than just a presumption.

Second step -

• It might be to run some additional lab tests,
  such as an oral glucose tolerance test,
  hemoglobin A 1C or fasting glucose and fasting
  insulin.  Each of these tests provide useful data
  points but cannot give you the complete picture
  you need in order to know whether or not you are
  developing insulin resistance.
• A few very enterprising health practitioners
  might order additional lab tests, such as a
  24-hour urine test for estrogens, progesterone,
  androgens (male hormones) and 5-alpha hormone
  enzyme activity.  If you have PCOS with suspected
  insulin resistance, this test may show a pattern
  of high estrogens and androgens, low
  progesterone and high 5-alpha reductase enzyme.
