Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary objective: To study the effect of vitamin D supplementation on Insulin resistance (IR) in subjects with PCOS Primary outcome: HOMA-IR (homeostasis assessment model for insulin resistance) Primary outcome measure: insulin resistance as measured by (Fasting blood glucose x fasting serum insulin)/22.5 Timepoint: 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary objective: To study the effect of vitamin D supplementation on beta-cell function in patients with PCOS. Secondary outcome as assessed by disposition index Secondary outcome measure will be disposition index calculated as insulinogenic index x Matsuda index Timepoint: 6 months
