About Welchol, diabetes 2 and cholesterol

(from the official Welchol website)

Sometimes, your routine—the dieting, exercise, and medication—for lowering your A1C (or blood sugar level) and “bad” cholesterol levels doesn’t quite get you there. It leaves you at Almost. Adding Welchol® (colesevelam HCl) to your type 2 diabetes or cholesterol medicine could help get you beyond Almost. In fact, Welchol along with diet and exercise, is the only FDA-approved add-on medicine, proven to lower both A1C and “bad” cholesterol in adults with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol.

Bile acids are made in your liver using various chemicals in your body, including cholesterol. Bile acids are necessary because they help with the digestion of fat from the foods we eat. Welchol® (colesevelam HCl) binds to these bile acids, preventing them from being re-absorbed into the bloodstream. This requires the body to make new bile acids. Because making new bile acids increases the demand for cholesterol in the liver, the result is a lowering of “bad” cholesterol levels in the blood. How Welchol affects glucose levels is not known.

Diabetes Type 2: Between 90 and 95 percent of people with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes. It’s most often associated with old age, obesity, family history, previous history of gestational diabetes, physical inactivity, and certain ethnicities. About 80 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight.

When type 2 diabetes is diagnosed, the pancreas is usually producing enough insulin, but for unknown reasons the body cannot use the insulin effectively, a condition called insulin resistance. After several years, insulin production decreases. The result—glucose or sugar, builds up in the blood and the body cannot make efficient use of this main source of fuel. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes develop gradually. Symptoms may include fatigue, frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, and slow healing of wounds or sores. Some people have no symptoms.

When it comes to blood sugar, A1C is an important number. A1C is a three-month average of blood sugar scores. In general, for adults with type 2 diabetes, the American Diabetes Association suggests an A1C level of less than 7%. If your blood sugar is Almost <7%, that isn’t a bad place to be. After all, any improvement in blood sugar—no matter how small—is important. Welchol® (colesevelam HCl) could help you go further. In 3 pivotal studies Welchol, when added to metformin, sulfonylurea or insulin therapy, helped lower A1C by 0.5%—a significant reduction.

High Cholesterol: Our bodies use cholesterol to make hormones, Vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods. About 80% of the waxy, fat-like substance called cholesterol is produced by the body.However, it’s important to have the right balance of the different types of cholesterol in our bodies.

If there is too much “bad” cholesterol in the bloodstream, it can be called high cholesterol or hyperlipidemia. Many factors may affect cholesterol levels in your blood. Some can be controlled and others cannot. You can control: What you eat, and your activity. You cannot control: Heredity, age and sex. If you have too much “bad” cholesterol, it should be addressed because it could lead to other serious health conditions.

Welchol® (colesevelam HCl)—when added to diet, exercise, and a cholesterol-lowering medicine called a statin—may help to get you past Almost. How much lower? Have a look at these results from clinical studies: In two different studies, when added to 10 mg each of simvastatin and atorvastatin, Welchol lowered “bad” cholesterol by 42% and 48% respectively.
