Pre-diabetes: sometimes polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with insulin resistance. Your body may be confused in dealing with sugar and may put out too much insulin at times trying to compensate. Eat small, healthy meals and snacks often. Getting 15 to 20 minutes of daily aerobic exercise every day helps to improve your metabolism. Work with a knowledgeable doctor.
