Study Summary
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age, and is associated with infertility, risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes, and impaired quality of life. The elevated insulin characteristic of PCOS is likely to play a major role in its symptoms. Manipulation of dietary carbohydrate quantity and quality (glycemic load; GL) may lower insulin and improve both reproductive and metabolic outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine if a lower GL diet intervention is more effective than a standard (STD) diet in improving reproductive and metabolic outcomes of women with PCOS in the absence of weight loss.
