Nancy: Type 2 diabetes and hypertension, BMI 34*
With a BMI of 34, Nancy is considerably overweight. She's 40 years old and
5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 200 lbs. Nancy has type 2 diabetes and has been
taking medicine for this condition for the past 2 years. 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. Patients who are considerably overweight and have type 2 diabetes, are at increased risk for coronary heart
disease.
Results with XENICAL
Weight loss with XENICAL plus diet may improve blood sugar control and may reduce risk of coronary heart disease.
The long-term benefits of XENICAL on
weight-related illnesses and life expectancy have not been studied.
