BCP and diabetesFrom: Victoria (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 1 Dec 2002 16:44:19 -0500
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/434446, Oral Contraceptive Use and Association With Glucose, Insulin, and Diabetes in Young Adult Women: The CARDIA Study. Conclusion: Current use of OCs is associated with lower glucose levels in young African-American and white women and may be associated with lower odds of diabetes. On page 4: It is also possible that our study subjects included a larger proportion of women with polycystic ovary disease, as CARDIA participants were more obese; in women with polycystic ovary disease, OCs may suppress follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, in turn suppressing ovarian androgen secretion and thereby decreasing insulin resistance and glucose levels [22].
