How women with PCOS process sugar after a glucose drink
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how women with PCOS process sugar after drinking a glucose solution, compared to women without PCOS. Researchers measure blood and metabolic changes to understand the condition better, which could help shape future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a keto diet can improve symptoms of PCOS. You'll follow your normal routine while researchers monitor changes.
This study compares two diet plans (Mediterranean and low-carb) along with the supplements inositol and metformin, to see which works better for weight and blood sugar control in women with PCOS and insulin resistance. It may help you manage PCOS symptoms and improve your body's response to insulin.
This study tests if a diet low in quickly digested carbs (low glycemic index) and high in fiber can help women with PCOS who are overweight. You'll follow this eating plan and not change your exercise, to see how it affects your PCOS symptoms over several months.
This study looks at glucose levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using a continuous glucose monitor. It may help understand how blood sugar changes in women with PCOS.
This trial looks at how the heart's blood vessels and certain markers change in women with PCOS when they drink a sugary solution (OGTT). It checks these markers before treatment starts and again 6 and 12 months after, to help understand cardiovascular risk in PCOS.
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks your blood sugar) can help women with PCOS understand their glucose levels. It may help you learn how your body responds to food and daily activities.
