Is It Safe To Take Optisulin To Detox Diet? What Could Be Done To Reduce Weight?

Hi, I'm 35 yrs old female height 5.6 , weight 96 kgs staying in Dubai . on my recent trip to India I came to know from my friend that a dietician had recommended her optisulin to take as part of her detox diet, its some kind of a zinc/vitamin supplement. She is not a diabetic.am wondering if I can use it too as I want to start a diet program for myself. And what more i can do to reduce my weight alongwith exercise?? Anjali

Hello,
Although internationally OPTISULIN is known as injection GLARGINE which is used for control of diabetes but in India OPTISULIN is basically a zinc and vitamin supplement.
It can be taken by anybody but very frankly speaking it has no role in reduction of weight.For reduction of weight you must take a very controlled diet along with regular aetobic exercises for at least 45 minutes a day.
For control of diet,you have to limit your saturated fat intake and stop transfats,deep fried foods,sweets,junk foods and colas.
Since you are very much overweight,it would be best if you could take the professional services of a dietician ,so that you can achieve your goal.
Thanks
