Abstract :

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is Commonest endocrine disorder that affects almost 6 –10% woman in reproductive age group. A cross sectional study is carried out to evaluate risk of development of impaired glucose tolerance in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome characterized by oligo– or anovulation, biochemical or clinical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasonography. 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test carried out in women with PCOS and women without PCOS. The prevalence of Impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetic mellitus in women with PCOS is substantially higher than expected when compared with age– and weight–matched populations of women without PCOS. There is highly significant rise in the fasting plasma glucose & 2 hr glucose level in polycystic ovary syndrome women. However to conclude oral glucose tolerance test was a more reliable for predictor of impaired glucose metabolism and periodic screening with oral glucose tolerance test useful in early diagnosis and prevention of development diabetic mellitus and its complications in PCOS women
