Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital for a physical examination and found that my blood sugar was very high. I was hospitalized for one month for treatment and started injecting insulin as prescribed by the doctor to control my blood sugar. Currently, my blood sugar has stabilized, but I don't know if this will affect my body, especially pregnancy.What kind of help do I need: Can insulin resistance affect ovulation?
Doctor's answer:
Insulin resistance refers to various reasons that increase the efficiency of insulin in promoting glucose intake and utilization, leading the body to compensate by excreting excessive insulin, resulting in hyperinsulinemia to maintain blood sugar stability. Insulin resistance is prone to cause metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Generally, there is no effective treatment for primary or genetic insulin resistance. However, for many high-risk populations prone to recurring insulin resistance, such as third-degree relatives with a history of diabetes, those with a family history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, or low birth weight infants or individuals with a history of intrauterine malnutrition, it is particularly important to pay attention to preventing obesity during their postnatal life to prevent the recurrence of insulin resistance.
