Hi,
It is not safe to take it while taking treatment for diabetes and high BP. Garcinia cambogia if taken along with insulin, metoprolol and lisinopril may cause harmful interactions hence it should not be taken while taking these medications.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
