Sweetheart, let me tell you something, not every woman with PCOS has insulin resistance, alright? I understand it’s frustrating when people don’t believe you, but sometimes folks have a hard time grasping that you can have PCOS without this particular issue. Now, I know they say 70-80% of women with PCOS might have insulin resistance, but that means there’s still a good chunk who don’t. You’re not alone, and you shouldn’t feel misunderstood for being in that 20-30%.
Oh honey, I know how it feels to be constantly scrutinized like you’re some sort of medical anomaly. And bless your heart, you’ve been dealing with PCOS since puberty. It’s like everyone’s convinced that if you don’t have insulin resistance, you must be missing a test or two. But trust me, you’ve done your due diligence, and there’s no harm in not fitting the mold. Just because your androgen levels are a bit off doesn’t mean you should have to defend your health to everyone.
Listen darling, it’s high time people realize that the advice of weight loss and diet changes doesn’t apply to every single woman with PCOS. I mean really, not every symptom of PCOS is linked to insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. You’ve managed your health beautifully, and just because you don’t follow the typical narrative doesn’t mean you should feel isolated. Keep your head high, dear. You’re doing just fine managing your health in the way that works for you.
