Brief Summary: Women with PCOS have been observed to be potential diabetics.Recently,American Diabetes Association has suggested screening of women with PCOS for HbA1C.

Detailed Summary:

In view of recent suggestion of American Diabetes Association(ADA)to screen women with PCOS for HbA1C,we intend to study its prevalence in all categories of obesity in women with PCOS.

Further, the sensitivity and specificity of HbA1C will be compared with sensitivity and specificity of other insulin resistance markers such as OGTT, Free androgen index, free testosterone, fasting insulin to glucose ratio, HOMA-IR and HOMA-B-CELL.
