People with polycystic ovary syndrome are more likely to also have obesity, systemic inflammation, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance or a combination of these chronic conditions.
All of them raise the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.
It’s known that insulin resistance affects 50% to 75% of people with PCOS! Insulin is like a key that opens cells and lets glucose in. Glucose is fuel for energy!
The body is very good at making insulin, but in people with insulin resistance, the insulin does not convey glucose into the cells properly.
The result is glucose building up in the bloodstream and the fat cells, which raises the risk of diabetes.
“Not everyone with polycystic ovary disease has these complications, but for those who do, reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is our first concern”.
What’s the best diet for PCOS sufferers?
The Mediterranean diet is commonly recommended by dietitians, and for good reason. It offers a wide variety of foods from all categories, so it is easy to follow as a lifestyle approach rather than a temporary fix!
