Glucose Evaluation Through Continuous Glucose Monitors in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive aged women. In addition to menstrual and endocrine abnormalities, PCOS is characterized by insulin resistance and glycemic dysregulation. The pattern of glycemic abnormalities among patients with PCOS may be different than the general population, as evidenced by invasive, time consuming, and costly procedures such as the euglycemic clamp or oral glucose tolerance test. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers an opportunity to evaluate glycemic status in real world conditions. Furthermore, use of a CGM has been found to improve glycemic status among those with prediabetes and diabetes, but little is known about utility among patients with PCOS. The investigators thus seek to 1) characterize glycemic status using CGM among patients with PCOS and 2) assess the impact of CGM use on metabolic and reproductive health in patients with PCOS.

Prior treatment

  • Prior or current use of CGM

Lab values

  • Diagnosis of type I or II diabetes mellitus (including those found to have fasting glucose \>126, 2 hour glucose \>200, Hgba1c \>6.5)

Other
