I would like a lab order to check insulin resistance since i have pcos. how do i go about that? i dont have a doctor?

You find a doctor or clinic and establish care. This is a public information site where volunteer docs answer questions about health conditions. It does not offer prescriptions, order labs, provide notes or other forms of direct patient care. There are some services through the pay site at www.connect@healthtap.com.

I don't think measuring insulin resistance (IR ) would be helpful. Practically, just assume you have some degree of IR. Elevated blood glucose (BG) is what happens when IR is severe enough. Monitoring fasting BG every year is reasonable. Primary treatment for IR is a good diet, regular exercise and weight loss. Further treatment options are considered when BG ( that is, IR ) is elevated.
