I went and looked up Metabolic Syndrome online. I was horrified and realized I was on the fast track to insulin resistance. Both my sisters have the same diagnoses that I have without the Metabolic Syndrome term diagnosis and have much worse numbers than I do. One sister IS insulin resistant. The other is fast becoming insulin resistant. Their glucose readings are truly alarming.
If you have been told you are “metabolic” or have “metabolic syndrome” then you most likely have:
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- High triglycerides
- Fatty liver
A horrible quintet of diagnoses that leads to a host of not so pleasant outcomes.
