Insulin Resistance..: Pcos is due to the Insulin resistance syndrome. Some call this "pre-diabetes". You need to see an endocrinologist, avoid simple carbs and sugars and get regular aerobic exercise. Medications like metformin help this as well and may actually re-establish your monthly cycle. The irregularity is due to down-regulation of sex hormone binding globulin, which can lead to other symptoms such as hirsutism.
