Hi Guys
I have metabolic syndrome, amongst other things.
A friend has all the signs - sleep apnia, low testosterone, high AST, high ferritin, high blood pressure, horrid cholesterol, belly fat etc. Yet despite test after test he does not have insulin resistance. Me I am way insulin resistant but don't have all that other stuff, most but not all.
Its crazy - I thought THE test for metabolic syndrome was insulin resistance or have I got that wrong?
Either way he is getting a going over by a specialist who will get to the bottom of it but it has me beat - purely as a layman of course.
Thanks
Bill
