At the time of initial diagnosis, he was advised to lose weight (at least 10 kg), but no further action was taken. Referred by his GP to the UTS hospital following a hypoglycemic episode, Lenny presents with recent weight gain, suboptimal diabetes control, and foot pain. He has been trying to lose weight and increase his exercise for the past 6 months without success. Lenny had been started on Metformin 500mg BD, but had stopped taking it because of dizziness, often accompanied by sweating and a feeling of mild agitation, in the late afternoon.
