Disorder1
- The most important advance in the last decade, I think, is that we've come to realize that many, if not virtually all women with polycystic ovary syndrome suffer from an underlying metabolic disorder, and that specifically is something we call 'insulin resistance. (contemporaryobgyn.net)
Levels10
- If cells become resistant to the action of insulin, then blood sugar levels can go up. (mayoclinic.org)
- Diminished effectiveness of insulin in lowering blood glucose levels requiring 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent hyperglycemia or ketosis. (news-medical.net)
- An increase in insulin levels causes your ovaries to make and release male hormones (androgens). (clevelandclinic.org)
- Insulin resistance means your body doesn't process insulin correctly, leading to high glucose levels in your blood. (clevelandclinic.org)
- Insulin levels may build up in the body and can cause weight gain. (livescience.com)
- High levels of insulin can increase appetite and lead to weight gain. (nih.gov)
- Blood sugar enters cells, and levels in the bloodstream decrease, signaling insulin to decrease too. (cdc.gov)
- Lower insulin levels alert the liver to release stored blood sugar so energy is always available, even if you haven't eaten for a while. (cdc.gov)
- No one test will tell you, but if you have high blood sugar levels, high triglycerides (a kind of blood fat), high LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and low HDL ("good") cholesterol, your health care provider may determine you have insulin resistance. (cdc.gov)
- That's because when your body releases hormones to fight the illness, those hormones can also raise your blood sugar levels and increase how much insulin you need. (cdc.gov)
Patients5
- After four or five years of increasing dosages their effect becomes sporadic and unpredictable (the "on-off syndrome") and patients become increasingly helpless and depressed. (digitalnaturopath.com)
- Age as only predictive factor for successful sperm recovery in patients with Klinefelter's syndrome. (medscape.com)
- The risk of developing diabetes mellitus type 2 in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is 3-7 times greater than in regular women, also due to insulin resistance 1 . (bvsalud.org)
- Insulin resistance is associated with the capillary permeability of thigh muscles in patients with type 2 diabetes. (medscape.com)

Metformin3
- A clinical study on the short-term effect of berberine in comparison to metformin on the metabolic characteristics of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. (webmd.com)
- Type II diabetes diagnosis and metformin usage were compared with progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and chemotherapy resistance rate. (naturalmedicinejournal.com)
- 3 A large case-control study found that long-term metformin use was associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer, while long-term insulin use increased risk. (naturalmedicinejournal.com)
Increases3
- Too much insulin increases the production of androgens by the ovaries. (nih.gov)
- Insulin resistance increases the production of androgens. (nih.gov)
- Additionally, insulin resistance increases the risk of developing high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes. (seattlefertility.com)

Hormones1
Make more insulin1
- This can cause your body to make more insulin to try to bring down the blood sugar level. (mayoclinic.org)
Respond to insulin2
- Insulin Resistance is a condition in which the body does not respond to insulin properly. (news-medical.net)
- When cells don't respond to insulin, the level of glucose in the blood rises. (nih.gov)
Overweight2
- It isn't clear exactly what causes insulin resistance, but a family history of type 2 diabetes, being overweight (especially around the waist), and being inactive all can raise the risk. (cdc.gov)
- You do not have to be overweight to have insulin resistance. (cdc.gov)
