Summary :
In this presentation Dr. Kraw talks about insulin resistance as the link between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and diabetes, implications for screening, and the management of insulin resistance in PCOS.
Women with PCOS exhibit decreased insulin sensitivity (1), and Dr. Kraw talks about the etiology of insulin resistance in these individuals and how insulin resistance is responsible for some of the signs and symptoms of PCOS.
