Hi,

I understand your concern.

Saffron oil can help you manage diabetes due to its high content of manganese.

It will also help to lose weight apart diet and lifestyle changes, and meds you already take.

So far, no interaction with meds and supplements you already take.

Avoid high dose though as might be toxic (higher than 5g).

All the best.
