Women with PCOS have insulin resistance. Their bodies produce insulin, a key hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, but they cannot use it effectively.

Increasing physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can also help the body process and use blood sugar or glucose, producing enough insulin to meet your needs, and may require less medication. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2023\/02\/20\/3-yoga-poses-that-every-person-with-diabetes-should-try\/\"><strong>yoga poses<\/strong><\/a> that may help with both PCOS and diabetes include Garland pose (Malasana), Boat pose (Naukasana), Corpse pose (Shavasana), Cobra pose (Bhujangasana), and Alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana). Losing even a small amount of weight (5-10% of body weight) can significantly improve insulin resistance, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in women with PCOS.<\/p>\n<h3>Medical interventions<\/h3>\n<p>Treatments for type 2 diabetes can include medication that helps the body\u2019s insulin work more effectively and lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2023\/02\/09\/is-banana-good-for-diabetes\/\"><strong>blood glucose levels<\/strong><\/a>.

It may also help you lose weight. It can help with PCOS symptoms such as irregular ovulation.<\/p>\n<h4>Insulin therapy<\/h4>\n<p>Insulin therapy can help manage PCOS and diabetes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Insulin-sensitizing medications like metformin can help lower fasting insulin levels and encourage weight loss. Long-term use may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.<\/li>\n<li>SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2) inhibitors can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose levels. They also promote glucose excretion in urine, which can help with weight loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PCOS and diabetes are closely linked through shared risk factors like insulin resistance, obesity, and family history. By adopting the ways mentioned above, women with PCOS can reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes and improve their overall health.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"css-pc7ote\"><p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCOS increases the risk of type 2 diabetes due to insulin resistance, obesity, and family history.
