[QUOTE="Susiespearish, post: 688273, member: 124531"] Hi all .Finally had my appointment with the endocrinologist again this afternoon and have been told I have "metabolic syndrome" .I start on Insulin and Victoza with 100mg of Sitagliptin but thankfully my Metformin has been stopped . Found it quite interesting that the Wiki page for the syndrome states " A 2003 study indicated cardiovascular exercise was therapeutic in approximately 31% of cases. The most probable benefit was to triglyceride levels, with 43% showing improvement; but fasting plasma glucose and insulin resistance of 91% of test subjects did not improve.[URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_syndrome#cite_note-katzmaryk-11'][11][/URL] Many other studies have supported the value of physical activity and dietary modifications to treat metabolic syndrome. Restricting the overall dietary carbohydrate intake is more effective in reducing the most common symptoms of metabolic syndrome than the more commonly prescribed reduction in dietary fat intake.[URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_syndrome#cite_note-n.26m2005-49'][49][/URL] Since a great many type 2 diabetics would fall under that syndrome its good to see an acknowledgement that cutting carbs does have an effect !
