Criteria for Metabolic Syndrome:
Metabolic syndrome - Diagnosis and treatment - Mayo Clinic
My former PC had diagnosed me with Metabolic Syndrome. I have looked into it and I think he was wrong. I do not fit the criteria. Never have. My new PC agrees with me and is removing the diagnosis from my chart as long as all looks good on my blood work next week.
if you are unsure, or wish to know the criteria, the link above covers the criteria.
