Is insulin resistance the same thing as diabetes?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Can you please suggest how to deal with this situation without strong medicines. My report shows bilateral mildly polycystic ovaries. My gynecologist said that it is a starting problem and can be cured. What should I do to cure it. Please also tell me how to lose weight as my weight has increased by almost 25 kilograms in 4 to 5 years. My lifestyle is sedentary as I am a student and I do not exercise. I went to the gym for 2 months and then left. I am not following any diet. I stay in a PG so my food options are limited?
