Metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasingly prevalent in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, significantly raising cardiovascular risk. This condition often combines dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes, leading to microvascular complications.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Diseases
  • Cardiovascular Health

Context:

  • Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a known cardiovascular risk factor in type 2 diabetes.
  • Limited research exists on MS prevalence and characteristics in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Purpose:

  • To characterize the clinical, biochemical, and therapeutic profiles of T1DM patients with MS.
  • To understand the presentation and management of MS in a T1DM cohort.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 36 T1DM patients with MS (defined by NCEP-ATP III criteria).
  • The cohort, with a mean age of 53 and diabetes duration of 15 years, frequently presented with dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes (80%).
  • All patients had microvascular complications, and cardiovascular risk was very high, with 50% requiring metformin in addition to insulin therapy.
