Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders among women and is now recognized to affect 4-6% of young adolescent women.1 Insulin resistance is known to play an integral role in the pathophysiology of this disorder and patients are at increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes mellitus (DM). There is a limited body of literature describing the prevalence of dysglycemia (IGT, IFG and DM) in the adolescent PCOS patient.
