Metabolic Syndrome

The Metabolic Syndrome is defined as a cluster of metabolic risk factors that come together in a single individual. This is insulin resistance, high blood presser, and increased cholesterol, decreased HDL and increased triglycerides. It often it has increased “middle fat” in the abdomen.

It is observed in those with type one diabetes and type two. Such an observation gives further strength to the “accelerator theory” of diabetes. Read more.

As we have used Byetta, a medication designated for only those with type 2 diabetes by the FDA, we find that those with type one (C Peptide negative) and evidence of the Metabolic Syndrome respond very well to the use of Byetta.

We are now pulling together all the information on the patients we have treated over the last year and will present this on this E-News. It is really exciting; share it with your friends. It’s your time.
