Abstract:

Purpose: The study was planned to determine the frequency and relationship of metabolic syndrome and components in newly identified or never treated type 2 diabetes patients. Method: In addition to the weight, height, back circle, body mass index, hunger blood sugar, blood pressure, HbA1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL data, the first-degree relatives, metabolic syndrome components were questioned. Result: In our study with newly identified type 2 diabetes patients, the rate of metabolic syndrome (MS) was determined at 70,5 per cent according to the National Cholesterol Training Program (NCEP) and 80 per cent according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). According to gender, the rates of MS in women and men were 84.8% and 75.6% respectively. Obesity was ranked first as the component of MS in all parents, brothers and children, who were the first-degree relatives of patients. Debate: The criterion that reflects insulin resistance was again seen as the back circle. According to the NCEP criteria, due to the fact that patients with MS and non-MS do not have a significant difference in the NAC values, the NCEP is believed to keep the NAC marginal value low in order to reduce the risk in the long term. The first and frequent place of obesity in mothers, fathers, brothers and children of diabetic patients has raised the suspicion that obesity may be a disease that can be transmitted from common genes with diabetes and insulin resistance.
