Metabolic Syndrome


Metabolic syndrome could be a cluster of conditions such as insulin resistance, clustering of abdominal obesity, high blood sugar, high blood lipids and hypertension, and increased risk of clotting, stroke, predisposing individuals to diabetes and coronary heart diseases.

 Symptoms of metabolic syndrome includes: visceral, central, abdominal obesity, particularly, a waist size of more than 35 inches in women and more than 40 inches in men, blood pressure of 130/85 mm/Hg or above, fasting blood glucose levels of 100 mg/dL or above, High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels of 40 mg/dL or less for men and 50 mg/dL or less for women, blood triglycerides levels of 150 mg/dL or higher. 

 High blood pressure, high blood glucose levels and cholesterol and lipid abnormalities can often be targeted early with lifestyle measures. Losing weight, especially within the upper body can be a successful treatment. A few measures for preventing and treating abnormal cholesterol and other perspectives of metabolic syndrome include: taking regular exercise, avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol intake and eating a "heart-healthy diet" that is low in fat, sugar and sodium.


The diet suggested for preventing and treating metabolic syndrome (mainly to prevent hypertension) is constraining intake of saturated fats and total fats, red meats, sodium and sweetened foods and drinks, consuming bounty of fruits and vegetables, fish, whole grains, and nuts.

 Metabolic syndrome, sometimes truncated to MetS, can begin in childhood, alongside early obesity, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and high blood pressure. Unavoidable risk factor, such as family history, can increase the chance of developing some components. In any case, lifestyle choices can impact all these factors.

 Symptoms such as insulin resistance don't essentially go with obesity or indicate metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance is a feature of obesity and metabolic syndrome, and it can lead to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but it can moreover be a sign of other conditions. Examples include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Cushing's disease, chronic kidney disease and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.  

 Other problems that are some of the time related with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and high blood sugar include blood clotting defects and low-level inflammation. These can too contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease.

Hypoglycaemia in Diabetes

Image
In diabetes, hypoglycaemia for the most part emerges as a result of pharmacologic treatment that causes blood glucose levels to drop underneath the normal range. Whereas mild hypoglycaemia usually resolves with incite ingestion of carbohydrates, more often reduced glucose levels can impede cognitive function, and even threaten life. Nocturnal hypoglycaemia poses a specific challenge because the sleeping patient isn't in a position to intervene and numerous episodes are asymptomatic. Repeated exposure to nocturnal hypoglycaemia can limit counterregulatory mechanisms, with possibly serious clinical consequences. Hypoglycaemia in diabetes typically happens as a result of therapeutic treatment, particularly with insulin, glinides or sulfonylureas (SUs). Risk factors for hypoglycaemia includes Aggressive treatment of glycaemia, HbA1C < 6.5%* (except in youth), High glucose variability (in older adults), Long duration of diabetes, Renal impairment, Duration of insulin therap

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes without treatment can lead to short as well as long-term health complications, including hypoglycemia, nerve damage, vision problems and heart disease. Vision problems may include diabetic retinopathy, cataract, diabetic macular edema (DME) and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy   influences blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue called the retina that lines the back of the eye. It is the foremost cause of vision loss among individuals with diabetes and the driving cause of vision impairment and blindness among working-age adults. Within the starting stages, people with diabetic retinopathy may not notice their vision changing. Diabetics sometimes experience rapid changes in blood sugar that can incidentally cause blurry vision even when retinopathy is not present. If a person notices a few specks or spots floating in his visual field, this may cruel he has developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the growth of abnormal new blood vessels on the retina.
