Brief answer....it is better to avoid them Detailed answer... Hello, Both them are used as sexual powers enhancer but they are not approved by US FDA. ENZYTE contains various ingredients which can disturb your sugar control,cause heart arrythmia,low blood pressure,allergies,insomnia etc. HORNY GOAT WEED can cause dizziness,thirst,heart arrythmia,increased heart rate,nose bleeds,breathing problem etc. Although both of these are consumed by many people,but as doctor I would be very weary of using it in a diabetic patient like you. However if you are very much inclined to use them,you must inform your treating doctor and take his permission for its use. I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks
