MARTINEZ, María Isabel; FERRI, Araceli; MATEOS, Ana María  e  ALEGRE, Antoni. Improvement of clinical parameters in a patient with metabolic syndrome through intervention in nutrition education and improvement of lifestyle. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.3, pp.1444-1448. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2015.31.3.7990.

Objective: The main objective is the reduction of early morbidity and mortality associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods: 24h intakes count for 3 days and clinical-nutritional history. Follow-up of 19 visits to monitor the evolution. Results: Following weight loss, the measurement of capillary blood glucose was 59 mg/dl, discontinuing then treatment with metformin; after 7 days without metformin treatment the value was 64 mg/dl. Conclusions: Intervention in nutritional education and lifestyle contributed to almost a 10% reduction of body weight; the patient moved from the obesity BMI range to overweight. Peripheral insulin resistance was also enhanced and the GP in charge decided to discontinue the dosing of metformin as a result.
