As we age also if you are inactive there is reduced metabolism. Sadly, these short cut supposed easy ways to lose weight are not long lasting.
There’s no overnight fix when it co...more

It also has side effects like malabsorbtion of fat soluble of vitamins. Please weigh the consequences over benefits before going for medication instead lose weight in healthy way by diet n exercise.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.

SInce blood glucose shows you have diabetes, there is a need to start the treatment with appropriate drugs, plus diet restriction and regular exercise. Other medication that you are on should be continued. Please check f...more
