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 that she has high blood sugars during an oral sugar tolerance test. People who have an abnormal sugar tolerance have a strong 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 a 4-year study, considerably overweight patients with impaired sugar tolerance had a 42% decreased likelihood of developing diabetes when treated with XENICAL than those treated with diet alone. The long-term benefits of XENICAL on weight-related illnesses and life expectancy have not been studied. *These patients are not real individuals. They are representative patient profiles based on data from clinical studies. |
