Angela: Glucose intolerance, BMI 31*
Angela is 45 years old, weighs 190 lbs, and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. She has a BMI of 31 and suffers from impaired glucose (sugar) tolerance, which means she has a higher risk of acquiring diabetes in the future. Her doctor says she needs to lose weight and get her blood sugar under control in order to lower her risk of developing diabetes. Controlling her blood glucose and losing weight will also help Angela lower her risk of heart disease.
Results with XENICAL
Weight loss with XENICAL plus diet has been shown to improve glucose intolerance by reducing the risk or delaying the progression to diabetes. High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.
In clinical studies, people treated with XENICAL plus diet had lower blood glucose levels after 1 year of treatment than people treated with diet alone.
Among patients at risk for type 2 diabetes, XENICAL plus diet reduced the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes more than twice as often as diet alone.
In three clinical studies, it was shown that 3.0% of patients at risk progressed to type 2 diabetes with XENICAL plus diet versus 7.6% of patients at risk who progressed to type 2 diabetes with diet alone.
The long-term benefits of orlistat on weight-related illnesses and life expectancy have not been studied.
