In PCOS, the body does not use sugar properly. Normally, insulin causes your body tissues and muscles to take up sugar and utilize it. In case of PCOS, the body is resistant to the effects of insulin and does not use sugar in response to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. the HOMA Index test, is used to detect this by calculating the ratio of fasting sugar to insulin.
The lipid profile will tell you if your weight gain is reflected in your cholesterol. High cholseterol levels are also dangerous for the heart health.
TSH, may be elevated if your thyroid is not working properly. This can also cause weight gain, not related to PCOD. This test helps rule out thyroid as a cause of weight gain.
