How is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with insulin resistance healed/treated?

I am interested in natural and conventional ways of healing. Thank you!

The most common conventional treatment would be metformin. Metformin is an insulin regulating drug often given to women with PCOS. It helps to control the high levels of insulin that go along with IR (insulin resistance). It's thought that in PCOS patients with IR, high levels of insulin also cause the ovaries to produce too many male hormones, so metformin can also help with other PCOS symptoms as well. I take metformin for PCOS and for high lipids caused by IR.

Two natural remedies come to mind: vanadyl sulfate and cinnamon. Vanadyl sulfate, or vanadium, has shown mixed results in scientific studies but is thought to increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. Cinnamon has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels. I take a combined vanadyl sulfate/cinnamon supplement.

Diet and exercise, of course, are very important. PCOS patients are often advised to follow a diet low in processed carbohydrates and sugar due to the connection between PCOS and insulin problems. I eat a low fat, very low cholesterol, high fiber, vegetarian diet and I try to exercise every day.

Unfortunately there is no cure for PCOS. We can only treat the symptoms and the underlying problem of insulin resistance.

Unfortunately, the only natural remedy there is to PCOS with insulin resistance, is to try to allieviate the symptoms. This is done by having a low carb diet.

The rest of the treatment, must be prescribed by a doctor. However, metformin will probably be prescribed first. This drug decreases blood glucose through three ways:-

A) It decreases the amount of glucose produced by your liver.
B) It decreases the amount of glucose absorbed by your stomach.
C)It increases the effect of insulin.
