Abstract

Objectives: Obesity is an increasing health concern in India in recent times, mainly due to sedentary lifestyle and irregular dietary pattern which leads to metabolic syndrome.
Materials and Methods: In our Diacare, Diabetes Care and Hormone Clinic, study of a 30 years, Female with Body mass index (BMI) of 34.3kg/m2 and waist hip ratio (WHR) of 1.01 was done.
Results: The patient was diagnosed with Syndrome Z and was followed up for one year with lifestyle modifications in dietary and regular physical exercise. Metformin and glucagon- like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) was prescribed for 24weeks and 12 weeks respectively. By the end of one year gradual improvement in her BMI, WHR, and reversal of diabetes was achieved.
Conclusion: It has been concluded from this case study that diabesity, which is a growing epidemic (obesity and type 2 diabetes) can be treated with proper dietary modifications, regular exercise and therapy. Reversal of diabetes can be achieved. Obesity is one of the main concern for many high risk diseases in our country and should be focused upon and treated as one of the major illnesses.
