Clinics for the treatment of Metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of diseases and conditions that develop together and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
These conditions include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

Metabolic syndrome is an increasingly common condition that affects one-third of U.S. adults. If you have metabolic syndrome or any of its components, a significant lifestyle change can delay or even prevent the development of serious health problems.

When to see a doctor

Should you know that you have at least one component of metabolic syndrome, ask your doctor if you need to be tested for other components of this syndrome.

Symptoms of metabolic syndrome

Most disorders associated with metabolic syndrome have no obvious signs and symptoms. One visible sign is a large waist circumference. But if you have high blood sugar, you may notice signs and symptoms of diabetes, such as increased thirst and urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.

People suffering from metabolic syndrome usually have an apple-shaped body, meaning they have a larger waist and are overweight in the abdomen. It is believed that a pear-shaped body, i.e., the transfer of most of the weight to the hips, and a narrower waist, does not increase the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or other complications of metabolic syndrome.
