Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
