I googled and came up with this:
"What is a metabolic syndrome screening? The screening measures five things: your waistline, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol level, triglyceride level and fasting blood sugar. If three or more factors are outside the normal range, you have metabolic syndrome."
Well, I certainly fit that profile. My ignorant GP needs to be educated about metabolic syndrome.
