I have polycystic ovary syndrome & therefore have insulin resistance problems. does anyone know the best way?


to control this through diet? I also want to lose some weight. I have apple shape and was told that insulin resistance causes my belly to be big. the rest of my body is very low in fat.

It might be worth asking your doctor if Metformin would be a suitable medication, i have poly-cystic ovaries but not diabetes, i was prescribed Metformin at my request, i looked it up on the Internet and read quite a lot of success stories, ie , aiding weight loss and making the pain disappear.


Metformin 500mg three times a day cured the pain from my ovaries and also helped suppress my appetite, so it helped both problems!

I lost weight and felt great too.. After losing the weight it seemed to minimise the symptoms of the Poly-cystic Ovaries!

Basically a good diet for a diabetic (insulin resistance ~ type 2 DBM) is a good diet for anyone.

Should be based on obviously avoidance of refined sugars and simple carbohydrates, and consumption of vegetables, fruit and complex carbohydrate. Low fat, high fibre.

Moderate exercise will help with weight loss.

Sorry no magic solution.

You may consider use of ground cumin - there is some evidence this may help. But suggest more basic measures first.

You are sensible to want to control condition with diet and lifestyle modification. Best of luck.

Most women with polycystic ovaries can be controlled with a diabetic diet and oral diabetic agent. They can even get pregnant on it.

As a healthcar provider I agree with the previous answers. Additionally, I usually put my patients on Metformin. See you provider.

Cut out the dairy products... right now.

As far as I know, being over weight can contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome and increases your chances of getting type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance. Your belly isn't big because of your insulin resistance, but having a big belly increases your chances (a lot) of getting it. I hate my fat belly - sit ups help when you remember to do them!

For all of the above loosing weight could help, and it's always good to be at a good weight anyway, as I'm sure you know. Different diets etc. work for different people because we're all motivated by different things. You could see if your dr will refeer you to a dietition who could help get you started.

Good luck xx
