A Thai-men aged 52 years with body mass index (BMI) at 25.69 kg/m2, waist 96 cm was diagnosed with HT and DM 4 years ago. He was under the cared for and treated at Chiang Sean Hospital with the blood pressure at 167/110 mmHg and oral enarapril 5 mg. was the first drug of choice. His blood glucose level at the beginning was 123 mg/dl and Metformin 500 mg was given. During the follow up at Chiang Sean Hospital, he still had a high blood pressure with uncontrolled blood sugar level. He also had dyslipidemia and gout with high cholesterol level (244 mg/dl), high triglyceride level (334 mg/dl), high level of low-density lipoprotein (121 mg/dl) and high uric acid level (12.1 mg/dl).
