Nancy: Type 2 diabetes, BMI 34*
With a BMI of 34, Nancy is considerably overweight. She's 55 years old and 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighs 200 lbs. Nancy has type 2 diabetes and is taking medicine for this condition. She's hoping that by losing weight with XENICAL and eating a reduced-calorie diet she will be able to manage her diabetes better and lower her risk of coronary heart disease.
Like so many of us, Nancy is concerned that she'll lose weight only to gain it back later. Fortunately, according to clinical studies, XENICAL can help people lose weight and keep it off. In fact, XENICAL is the only prescription weight-loss drug approved for reducing the risk of regaining weight.
Here's something else that can help Nancy remain committed to her weight-loss plan: weight loss with XENICAL plus diet can help people control their high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar, also called hyperglycemia, is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Results with XENICAL
Weight loss with XENICAL plus diet has been shown to reduce insulin levels, improve high blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels. In clinical studies, people treated with XENICAL and a reduced-calorie diet had lower blood glucose levels after 1 year than people treated with diet alone.
The long-term benefits of orlistat on weight-related illnesses and life expectancy have not been studied.
