    TLDR Lifestyle changes are more effective than medication for reducing type 2 diabetes risk.
    The document discussed the management of hirsutism and the associated risks of certain treatments, such as hepatotoxicity from flutamide and teratogenic effects from finasteride. It highlighted the importance of addressing insulin resistance due to its role in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk. Although there were no long-term studies on metformin's cardiovascular benefits for women with polycystic ovary syndrome, findings from the Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group indicated that lifestyle changes were more effective than metformin in reducing type 2 diabetes incidence in high-risk individuals. This suggested that clinicians should focus on helping patients achieve lifestyle changes to reduce body mass and improve insulin sensitivity.
