What is metabolic syndrome?

High risk obesity: Some people get overweight but get few complications. With metabolic syndrome, people gain weight and develop hyperlipidemia (high triglycerides, low hdl), hypertension, and Insulin resistance that may progress to diabetes. These people typically have abdominal obesity. This pattern is strongly inherited and Insulin resistance is at the core. The best treatment is weight control, exercise.

Metabolic Syndrome: Was called syndrome x: four facets-torso obesity, high blood pressure, poor cholesterol to HDL ratio, and tendency toward type 2 diabetes. The cause is Insulin resistance, and all treatments should focus on the cause. Metformin and low carbohydrate diets are indicated for most people with the problem of metabolic syndrome.

High risk condition: Metabolic syndrome, a.K.A Insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome x, refers to a syndrome of associated metabolic and vascular risks that cluster in a person or family members: high glucose, high bp, low hdl/high triglycerides, high inflammation, and increased weight --- which can lead to type 2 dm, gestational dm, coronary heart disease/stroke, pcos, fatty liver. Lifestyle changes are key.

Bad diet : Metabolic syndrome is very preventable. Excessive sugar and carbohydrate intake cause high blood sugar levels, which then make your Insulin levels rise. Over time the chronically high Insulin levels lead to Insulin resistance and you will need to make higher and higher levels of Insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Eventually you will have full blown diabetes, heart disease and htn.
