[Improvement of clinical parameters in a patient with metabolic syndrome through intervention in nutrition education and improvement of lifestyle].
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.
