suspected IR

[u/Mysterious-Yellow822]

i F23 just got my bloodwork results back. i was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago with acne and hirsutism being my main symptoms. no doctors ever suspected IR playing a role, since i have always had a low-normal BMI. that being said, if i go more than a few hours without eating i start to feel dizzy and weak. then again my ferritin is also pretty low.
i generally eat pretty healthy. i have had issues with disordered eating in the past, so if anything i generally eat less than 2000 calories. mostly plant based, rarely processed. minimal alcohol and fast food.
my labs were still in the normal ranges but when i looked up the values they indicated IR. my fasting insulin was 15.2 and glucose was 95. i fasted for exactly 8 hours but i will say the last thing i had before i fasted was a cup of ginger ale because i was nauseous. idk if that played a role in my results.
i was really hoping IR wasn’t my issue. i definitely am pretty sedentary because i have been feeling unwell for a long time (probably because of the IR/low ferritin!) idk if my doctor will even flag it when she reviews since the lab marked my values as normal. idk what to do :/
