PCOS and diabetes are commonly interlinked disorders. PCOS causes hormonal imbalances that can lead to infertility and is linked to higher insulin levels characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Experts believe PCOS and diabetes are connected, as PCOS disturbs the endocrine system and increases androgen levels, elevating insulin production and potentially causing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Managing the conditions involves adopting a low glycemic diet, exercising regularly, taking vitamin D and chromium supplements, and avoiding caffeine.
