Abstract
The syndrome of polycystic ovaries (PCOS) is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). As the clinical symptoms of PCOS (e.g. hirsutism and menstrual irregularities) are easily recognized, this group of patients is ideal for strategies focusing on prevention and early diagnosis of altered glucose metabolism. The purpose of this study was to define a risk indicator for glucose intolerance in PCOS women with fasting normoglycemia.
