Apovian and Aronne Diet, Drugs, and Surgery for Obesity 1587 discussed with the patient. Blood glucose fingersticks should be checked by the patient 3 times per day during this process. As blood glucose declines toward 100 mg/dL, medications should be decreased to prevent hypoglycemia. These changes can be facilitated by consultation with an endocrinologist or obesity medicine specialist. However, an example of a down titration regimen would be either halving or cutting the medication by one-third the dose, 1 medication at a time, until each medication is stopped. The first medication in this patient’s list to decrease would be the insulin, because it is an injectable agent and least appealing to patients. During down titration, metformin can be maximized to 1000 mg twice a day, and a glucagonlike peptide-1 agonist, like liraglutide or exenatide, could be added, based on American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists guidelines. 6 Canagliflozin or dapagliflozin, sodiumglucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, can also be considered. All these drugs have been associated with weight loss while ameliorating blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c.The provider should counsel the patient to continue down titration of antihyperglycemic medications that cause weight gain until most or all have been stopped based on blood glucose values during the weight loss period. In cases where type 2 diabetes mellitus has been present for more than several years, the severity of diabetes mellitus is high, or both occur, it may not be possible to stop all hypoglycemic medications. The blood glucose values will guide the provider and the patient. This patient should also be weaned off atenolol, if possible, replacing it with another agent, such as a thiazide diuretic, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, or angiotensin receptor blockers. β-blocking agents may cause weight gain and should not be considered first-line agents for hypertension in the setting of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Should weight loss plateau following these changes, obesity
