Hi,
Althea and Diane pills are both a combined hormonal type contraceptives, used for birth control. Also, both of these pills have the same ingredients. Therefore, in my opinion, you are equally protected against pregnancy, even if you switch over from one to another, provided there is no gap in between the last tablet of one and start of first tablet of other.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
