Dear sir I can understand your concern
in my opinion there is a good success rate to cure diabetes in very obese individuals
most of clinical data is avilable in complete remission of diabetes in BMI more than 35
there are some side effects involved like excess acidity and feeling bolted even after taking very small amount of food
kindly let us know your height and weight to give you better suggestion
