You might want to check with your doctor first. Diet pills can do weird things, like make you real jittery, increase your metabolism, but then when you go off of them your metabolism might slow down a lot and then you would gain the weight back. Also, really low calorie diets can ruin your metabolism, not sure how low the diet your talking about it is. I'm not trying to be a downer but it sounds a bit dangerous and unhealthy.

I hope you find something that works for you...I have diabetes too and am well over my healthy weight.
