This study (

) suggests that if a patient is classified as having metabolic syndrome or insulin
resistance, corresponding associations with dietary macronutrient intake may be the
same. Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome may not be influenced by either total
fat or carbohydrate, but instead may be related to specific fats or sources of carbohydrate.
Careful dietary intake assessment should be performed in patients thought to have
metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance. Although based on a cross-sectional analysis,
the results suggest that men and women may need to be treated differently. These results
are based on data from American Indian patients, who tend to resemble other ethic
groups with high rates of obesity and diabetes. However, these results may not apply
to some ethnic groups.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
