First Trimester Insulin Resistance and Subsequent Preeclampsia: A Prospective
Study -- Journal of Clinical

We conclude that increased early pregnancy insulin resistance is independently
associated with subsequent
preeclampsia. First trimester SHBG levels may be a useful biomarker for
preeclampsia, especially among lean
women who otherwise would be perceived to be at low risk...

homeostasis model assessment model,
is significantly greater and more variable for overweight patients with PCOS.
Therefore, this inherent
variability needs to be accounted for in studies of IR in PCOS...
