These patients have a tendency to abdominal fat Accumulation and over weight which is partly associated with over production Of ovarian androgens. The increased insulin levels has been attributed to insulin Resistance which has been suggested as the principle underlying disorder of PCOS. Insulin resistance is defined as a decreased biological response to Normal levels of circulating insulin and is found in obese non diabetic people, Type 2 diabetes and those women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. The Percentage of PCOS women with insulin resistance was found to vary in the Results given by different workers in this field. As per their work in western Population it varied from 60% to 80%. The varying high percentage obtained By previous workers created the interest and hence this work on insulin Resistance in PCOS has been selected with the view of determining the Percentage of PCOS with insulin resistance in our population.
