                                Over half of women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) develop insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin. For those with PCOS, this can significantly impact symptom severity, leading many to question their carbohydrate consumption. The best approach isn't always complete elimination, but a strategic focus on the quality and timing of carbs to help manage insulin, regulate hormones, and support overall health.
