PCOS is diagnosed with more than blood tests. To answer this question specific to you, which is not available on this forum, you need a doctor's visit. The A1c at 4.9 is low, but this result is affected by your red blood count, so that needs to be considered. The glucose is normal at 79.1 is normal and not consistent with insulin resistance.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not diagnostic of insulin resistance. Wish you good health!

PCOS, includes irregular periods, hirsutism, obesity, acne is diagnosed by ultrasound of the ovaries for cysts and blood tests noting elevated androgens. Insulin resistance is associated with it but the blood work above is within normal limits (A1C is a bit low not high which is good) . f/u/w/gyn https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos
