Treatment
The goal of treatment is to reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Your doctor will recommend lifestyle changes or medicines to help reduce your blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and blood sugar.
Recommendations include:
•
Lose weight. The initial goal is to lose between 7 and 10% of your current weight. This generally means that you need to eat 500 - 1,000 fewer calories per day.
•
Get 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, such as walking, 5 - 7 days per week.
•
Lower your cholesterol using weight loss, exercise, and cholesterol lowering medications, if needed.
•
Lower your blood pressure using weight loss, exercise, and medications, if needed.
Some people may need daily low-dose aspirin.
People who smoke should quit.
Expectations (prognosis)
People with metabolic syndrome have an increased long-term risk for developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
