Explain the connection between PCOS & the use of insulin in the body. Testing for body weight.

PCOS shares many of the same genes as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Insulin resistance is the desensitization of the body’s cells to insulin, the hormone that tells our cells “hey, blood sugar has risen, please accept some glucose into your cell.” Blood sugars naturally should rise after eating, then insulin is released so that our cells can utilize that nutrition.

Fat cells don’t become resistant as other cells do, so they may accept more glucose, becoming fuller and fluffier, while the rest of the body’s cells may think that the body is hungry, because nothing told them there was glucose available.

Individuals with insulin resistance may find that it is harder to lose weight or lose fat. Additionally, PCOS is also typically accompanied by elevated androgen levels, which can also make fat or weight loss more difficult.
