Chapter 12

Metabolic syndrome - the big pitch

The last two chapters brought out the idea that diabetes represents the most clear-cut example of how the glucose-insulin axis affects health. This disease is at the center of nutritional thinking even if you are not a patient yourself. Even if you are primarily interested in weight loss or have concern about cardiovascular disease (CVD) or you are just interested in general good health, insulin metabolism is always in the foreground. A big focal point is the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Gerald Reaven’s original observation[12, 70] was that overweight, high blood glucose, high blood pressure and the lipid markers assumed to indicate cardiovascular risk commonly appeared together in the same patient (Figure 12-1).
