A member asked:
Pcos and insulin resistance are correlated what tests could be done to distinguish the insulin resistance in a pcos woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulin level: Insulin and glucose levels can be tested to diagnose insulin resistance. Insulin levels are high in those with insulin resistance. Once blood glucose levels are high even with elevated levels of insulin, you have reached the point of type 2 diabetes. Hope this helps.
