[QUOTE="zand, post: 2198135, member: 85197"] I agree with [USER=336957]@Hotpepper20000[/USER] Since metabolic syndrome is a condition with these symptoms:- abdominal obesity insulin resistance (leading to increased blood glucose levels) high blood pressure high cholesterol then merely controlling BGs isn't reversing metabolic syndrome, just reversing one of the symptoms. True, T2 may be reversed by low carbing or other methods of lowering BGs, but that is just one facet (allbeit the most important one for most of us here) of metabolic syndrome. Therefore I can't see how anyone can say that metabolic sysndrome has been reversed until the other symptoms are back in line too, not just BGs. A true reversal would surely mean fat lost around the middle, BGs at nondiabetic levels, IR improved and BP and cholesterol levels improving too? Having non diabetic BG levels is a great start, but IMO metabolic syndrome is still present when someone has to low carb to keep them at a nondiabetic level. If metabolic syndrome had been truly reversed then this surely wouldn't be necessary? Just my opinion of course and I am not criticising anyone for keeping their BGs under control, I myself low carb to do so, but until my tummy is trim I won't consider that my metabolic syndrome has been reversed.
