How do you get help for Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome?
PCOS is connected to insulin resistance. When a person eats a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (which is basically a long chain of glucose molecules hooked together), the body had to work hard to handle the sugar by producing insulin. Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. This effects the glands as they are a communication system on to the other and effects the ovaries. You can read more at www.mcvitamins.com/pcos.htm
