These cysts can disturb ovulation and influence menstruation and fertility. PCOS is associated with hormone imbalance, including insulin hormone.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes disturbs the body\u2019s capacity to use or create insulin. Type 1 diabetes results from a lack of these hormones, and type 2 diabetes develops due to insulin resistance. Lifestyle aspects can influence the development of type 2 diabetes.\u00a0Type 2 diabetes is more prevalent than type 1 diabetes, and it generally occurs in people who are overweight or obese. Research suggests that PCOS\u00a0increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. An individual with PCOS is more likely to have insulin resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beatoapp.com\/\/lps\/inapp-beato-paid-coach-consult-web?id=2400330&#038;campaignid=2400330&#038;source=2400330&#038;utm_content=%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F6200\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png\" class=\" wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-768x225.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-420x123.png 420w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-840x246.png 840w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-150x44.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/how-to-reduce-blood-sugar-level-immediately\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How To Reduce Blood Sugar Levels Immediately?
