Diabetes Background Design. Word of Red Color Located over Word Cloud of White Color.The International Diabetes Federation has been working on a definition utilizing advanced metabolic measures to more quickly and accurately recognize early signs of insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.

Take our quiz to find out more!

 

1. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet limits daily sodium intake to:

 
2. Which component of metabolic syndrome (ATP III) is depicted incorrectly?
Fasting plasma glucose ≥100 mg/dL
Serum HDL-C <40 mg/dL in men, <50 mg/dL in women
Serum triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL
Waist circumference ≥40” in men, ≥35” in women
 
3. Lifestyle modifications focus on weight reduction and increased physical activity for the management of metabolic syndrome. How much moderately intense physical activity (eg, brisk walking) is recommended?
 

4. Which marker is elevated in patients with metabolic syndrome?

 

5. Approximately what percent of US adults meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome using ATP III criteria?

 

We have several treatment plans for metabolic disorders. There are I.V. therapies with essential nutrients and Momordica to kick start your metabolism. We have hundreds of successful weight loss patients who did our HCG diet combined with light exercise and a restricted diet.

Eliminate your inflammation. Reduce your risk of heart disease and cancers.

One of the best treatments is ozone chelation. Chelation removes heavy metals that cause cardiovascular disease and free radical activity. Ozone kills pathogens that damage organ systems including the pancreas.

* All treatments are MD ordered and RN administered in NYS.

Eliminating pathogens and heavy metals with ozone chelation allows your heart to function normally and your metabolism to behave normally.  Book Today!

 
Answer Key:
1. C. 2,400 mg - The DASH diet has been shown to improve triglycerides, diastolic BP and fasting glucose. Azadbakh L, et al. Diabetes Care. 2005;28(12):2823-2831.
 
2. B. BP ≥140/90 mm Hg - Any BP ≥130/85 mm Hg or drug treatment for elevated BP. ATP III criteria define metabolic syndrome as the presence of any 3 of the 5 traits. Adult Treatment Panel III. JAMA. 2001;285(19):2486-2497.
 
3. B. 30 minutes daily - Increasing the level of physical activity appears to further enhance the beneficial effect. Thompson PD, et al. Circulation. 2003;107(24):3109-3116.
 
4. A. All of the answers are correct - Inflammatory and prothrombotic markers are associated with an increased risk for subsequent CVD and type 2 diabetes. Koh KK, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005;46(11):1978-1985.
 
5. E.35% - Actually, 34.5%. The number is even higher using International Diabetes Federation criteria for metabolic syndrome: 39%. Ford ES. Diabetes Care. 2005;28(11):2745-2749.
