4Possible Complications of Metabolic Disease
Metabolic syndrome may have a few complications. These include:
– Type 2 diabetes: Excess weight would cause insulin resistance in the long run. This subsequently increases the levels of blood sugar and causes type 2 diabetes.
– Blood and heart vessel disease: Both high blood pressure and high cholesterol could cause plaques to build up in the arteries. This hardens and narrows the blood vessels, thus increasing the risk of stroke or heart attack. [5]
