Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic SyndromeAbstract
The Metabolic Syndrome is a complex clinical entity, defined by the presence of a set of metabolic risk factors that, associated with Insulin Resistance, increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases in non-diabetic individuals and in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The presence of Metabolic Syndrome and its components has also been described in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, which for some would define the concept of Double Diabetes. For this reason, the objective set for this paper is to determine the relationship between the components of the Metabolic Syndrome and the quantification of Insulin Resistance in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The identification in the clinical practice of a group of patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 1, with phenotype of overweight / obesity, leads us to think that we are facing a specific population, with greater risk of micro and macrovascular complications. We decided to investigate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus that are attended and controlled in the Diabetes Care
Teaching Unit, located within the Pasteur Hospital, during the period April-June 2018; considering that a deeper exploration of the subject will improve the contribution to our knowledge in an unexplored area in our environment and it shall be significant in order to improve the clinical and therapeutic approach towards these patients.
