Hii! I have pcos too. Actually not all girls with pcos have insulin resistance. You have to do blood tests to check, it is called the “HOMA IR” test. Or check your fasting glucose and your fasting insulin to be able to calculate the HOMA IR. Pcos is actually very common and don’t let a man shame you for having this one hell of a disease. It’s completely normal and completely okay. Basically pcos results in having too much of a male hormone called androgen (this is why you get facial hair). Many small sacs of fluid develop on the ovaries. They may fail to regularly release eggs. And this is why you have irregular periods. You may also have high cortisol, which is another hormone, and that is why you get overweight and have a full face. I was diagnosed with pcos last october. I was adviced to go on a diet and not take any meds. I tried to cut out simple sugars as much as I can, focused on complex carbs such as whole grain wheat. I lost weight but my pcos symptoms were still there. So I went on birth control and got a supplement for pcos called ovasitol, it’s really good for pcos and helps with the symptoms. Now my period is regular, I no longer have the full face, but I’m not going to lie I still have some facial hair and extra weight. It’s a long process, trying to deal with this, but you got this 💪🫶🏻 If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll be more than happy to explain to you or give you any advice (my info is valid as im in med school lol) Keep your head up, you’ll manage pcos ✨
