A 36-yeаr-оld femаle presents tо the оffice complаining of difficulty losing weight for 2 years. She seeks a prescription drug to aid in these efforts. She has tried every fad diet she comes across (grapefruit, banana, alkaline diet, blood-type diet, etc.), but nothing seems to help. She tries to exercise regularly but manages only walking a couple of miles each week. A nutritional history reveals that she is eating a sensible low-fat diet. Her past medical history includes hypertension treated with medications for the last 3 years and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) treated for 1 year. She also has been seeing a psychiatrist over the last 6 months for emotional lability, which she blames on anxiety over her inability to get pregnant. The patient takes glyburide 5 mg PO daily and chlorthalidone 25 mg PO daily. A review of systems reveals thinning hair, irregular menses, delayed wound healing, and infertility (she's been trying to get pregnant for over 1 year). What advice do you offer this patient now?
