I took it many years ago.According to memory, it had to be taken before exercise and without abusing.But the truth did not notice anything and stopped taking it.I don't know if it will affect your medication.But I think you can avoid taking it is better.What worked for me was to control the food, together with the exercise.Years ago I took about 5 k and that was doing sports regularly, but the problem was that I ate much more than what I spent.And little by little I took weight.
With patience and regularity and being careful with what you eat, you can take many vegetables, eggs, chicken, turkey, salmon, blue fish, little by little you will lose weight.The important thing is constancy.It is not worth sticking a day beating and then eating what one wants.Except you have a metabolism problem!
All the best

Good, but you care I will answer you, covering your question from 2 areas.
1-In practice if you can affect your diabetes.You get 2 modified parameters, obtain energy through fats instead of sugars so it affects cardio performance at the level of glucose consumption and on the other you will lose weight more quickly, so you will have to correct the doses ofinsulin or whatever you take.
2-It would not take shortcuts to lose weight, the weight should be lowered based on nutritional education .As a complement you can exercise.
