Have you been feeling irritated about that muffin top but can?t kick your craving for sugary treats and comforting carbs?
Or do you live in a constant mental fog relying on caffeine to keep you going? You might be suffering from a silent but *little-known condition affecting millions of people.
Putting weight on around the waist is just one of the symptoms of Syndrome X or metabolic syndrome, which as many as 15 million Brits are suffering from, but less than half know they have it and many more haven?t heard of it.
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that, when they occur together result in a degree of insulin resistance and, more often that not, type 2 diabetes.
While it can be genetic, typically it affects older people with a more sedentary lifestyle. Yet poor awareness means many people are silently suffering.
