title: [Treatment of an obese diabetic].
abstract: Weight reduction is an important component of comprehensive management of diabetes. Weight reduction can be achieved using 6 methods: 1. diet 2. physical activity, 3. psychotherapy, 4. bariatric surgery, 5. pharmacotherapy of obesity, 6. selection of an appropriate antidiabetic medication. Orlistat is the only antiobesity agent presently available in the Czech Republic. Weight neutral (metformin and gliptins) and weight reducing antidiabetics (incretine analogues exenatide and liraglutide) and insulin analogue detemir are suitable antidiabetic drugs. We thus have a sufficient range of options available for weight reduction in diabetic patients.
