Thank you for your comment. I would love to find ONE pill … but anyone who has read my thread on the supplements I take would know that isn’t the case. LOL
metabolic syndrome
According to the NCEP ATP III definition, metabolic syndrome is present if three or more of the following five criteria are met: waist circumference over 40 inches (men) or 35 inches (women), blood pressure over 130/85 mmHg, fasting triglyceride (TG) level over 150 mg/dl, fasting high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level less than 40 mg/dl (men) or 50 mg/dl (women) and fasting blood sugar over 100 mg/dl.
-waist 31
-no increased blood pressure, consistently normal/low (105/68)
-do not have high blood sugar; tested dozens of times
-Triglycerides in normal range
-ONLY HDL went below 40 for 2 blood cycles; which is explainable by supplements; and returned to normal when supplements stopped.
Prediabetes
-glucose has been from 75-90 for the past six years (that I checked).
- Prediabetes is defined as a fasting blood glucose of 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl followed by a blood glucose of 140 mg/dl to 199 mg/dl at two hours, checked on more than one occasion.
Type 2 diabetes
-A1C (aka HbA1C) tested two separate occasions and both normal.
Doctors confirm no risk of diabetes visible.
- Diabetes is defined as a fasting blood glucose of 126 mg/dl to higher followed by a blood glucose of 200 mg/dl or higher at two hours.
Insulin resistance
-glucose levels always under 100.
I have not taken the sugary drink insulin resistance test, although I did take the intestinal permeability test (lactulose).
