Jennifer, Paula just posted an article within the last few days on
insuling resistance,pcos, and it's effects on women, in the regular pcos
forum. I believe it's on the Tuesday Feb. 27, 2001 posts. It is very
interesting and can explain what you're asking about, you should check
it out. I also wrote back to a question that Emma had on this page a
couple of days ago explaining what insulin resistant was and how a low
carb diet could help, so that may help you as well.
