A case of lean polycystic ovary syndrome with early stage of type 1 diabetes successfully treated with metformin [Rapid Communication].

This report highlights the efficacy of metformin in lean PCOS with type 1 diabetes. Insulin therapy is essential for type 1 diabetes but hyperinsulinemia potentially exacerbates PCOS through hyperandrogenism. Metformin is therefore recommended for treatment of lean PCOS with type 1 diabetes as well as common obese PCOS with type 2 diabetes. PMID: 26765270 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
