Hello there,
The GoLo diet plan is safe for you and actually designed for folks like yourself who ae insulin resistant or have what is termed “metabolic syndrome”. The “Release” supplement that goes with the diet is not well studied for it’s contribution to the weight loss from the program. I don’t think it would be harmful to you but it might be a waste of money. In any case if you follow the diet carefully it should benefit you. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar carefully as it may begin to go down as you lose weight.
