Diabetes in pcos is one of the most common causes of female infertility, affecting 6% to 12% (up to 5 million) of women of reproductive age in the United States. But there is much more to it. This lifelong health condition persists well beyond childbearing age.
Women with PCOS are often insulin resistant; their bodies can make insulin but cannot use it efficiently, which increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. They also have higher levels of androgens (male hormones that women also have), which can stop egg production (ovulation) and cause irregular menstruation, acne, thinning scalp hair, and excess facial and body hair growth.
Women with PCOS can develop serious health problems, especially if they are overweight:
Diabetes - More than half of women with PCOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40.
Gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy), which puts pregnancy and baby at risk and can lead to type 2 diabetes later in life for both mother and baby.
Heart disease - Women with PCOS are at higher risk and the risk increases with age.
High blood pressure, which can damage the heart, brain, and kidneys.
High LDL cholesterol (“bad”) and low HDL cholesterol (“good”) increase the risk of heart disease.
The external symbol for sleep apnea is a disorder that causes respiratory arrest during sleep and increases the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Stroke - Plaque (cholesterol and white blood cells) clogging up blood vessels can lead to blood clots, which in turn can cause a stroke
Where, oh where, can I make a phone call? On Rishikesh Rd outside of Haridwar, near the Jain Temple.
I've got Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is actually fairly common, affecting about 5 to 10 percent of women. It's strongly correlated with insulin resistance, which makes women with PCOS at high risk for becoming diabetic. Common symptoms include irregular periods, infertility, & hirsuteness -- that is, hair where women don't normally get much of it -- probably due to higher than typical levels of "male" hormones like androgen & testosterone. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1982, when I was 23, though I'd experienced some of its symptoms as far back as my junior year in high school (1976). But, I wasn't told it had anything to do with insulin resistance until I was diagnosed as prediabetic about five years ago. I've changes my dietary & exercise habits in order to prevent myself from becoming fully diabetic.
I don't mess with my bit of mustache because my hair is very blonde & it's not that noticeable. But I usually shave my chinny-chin-chin because it's a good deal more noticeable. But I'm getting set for a Pekka photoshoot, so I've been letting it grow out a bit. For Pekka, I use dark mascara to darken my beard, mustache, & eyebrows. After I'm done with this shoot (probably this weekend), I'll shave my chin & will not do another Pekka shoot until it grows out again or I get ambitious enough to make myself up with theatrical or costume shop hair.

I don't like cricket. I don't understand it. What on earth does 'bowl a maiden over', 'out for a duck', 'one over left' ', 'a googly', and 'sticky wicket' mean for heavens sake.
