"i started taking this medication because i was diagnosed with type ii diabetes. my doctor told me if i could lose some weight i could control it better... so with changing my diet to cater to the diabetes and these pills i started losing weight quickly.   i went from 207lbs to my current weight of 173lbs in just a couple months. i feel great..yeah, you&#039;ll drink more water from having dry mouth and be a little constipated off and on, but to me it&#039;s worth the side effects because now i am a controlled diabetic and have plenty of energy to actually play with my kids!  i&#039;m sure these pills aren&#039;t for everyone, but for me... they work and are continuing to work. i look and feel great!"
