Why is PCOS associated with high insulin and high blood sugar levels?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why is my blood sugar high with polycystic ovary syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

This disease is related to insulin secretion. Timely oral medication treatment is recommended. Maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement various vitamins and trace elements, and avoid spicy foods. The condition you described may require oral contraceptives, glucocorticoids, spironolactone, fludrocortisone, ovulation-inducing drugs, insulin sensitizers, and surgical treatment. The diet should be low in carbohydrates and low in fat. Weight loss through dietary regulation and exercise is a basic method to improve high hormone levels.
