Conclusions At T0 DG seems in a worse situation: this prompts him to better comply, with a general improvement.

MG ignores his health status, perpetuating incorrect lifestyles, showing deterioration, acquiring risk factors for MS (HDL-C, BP, W).

Even with similar initial status and similar strategy for both, the totally different results stress the importance of patients’ compliance, even if still unable to plan future.
