i am from uk. Found loads of info good and bad but nothing specifically about wether diabetics can take it. Just thought would try it to see what all the hype is about. It was only £10 so if it doesn't work then hhavent lost too much

Go very careful with these companies as if you don't cancel they will take nearly £100 a month from your bank account

Would you think a doctor should be allowed to prescribe a medication when there is no evidence in humans that it works, no research into appropriate dose and no double blinded safety trials ? I doubt it, yet this is the situation when you take something like raspberry ketones .
There have been a small trials on small numbers of rodents using high doses of it.
It is considered safe as a flavouring ie in small doses but there is no evidence as to either weight effects or safety on humans.

Here is a pharmacists take on the product; note he specifically mentions people with diabetes and high blood pressure. http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/02/raspberry-keytone-touted-as-miracle-fat-burner-by-dr-oz/

The ASA has taken action against some internet firms from the UK for making false claims but it is rather a jungle out there.

I'm not commenting on whether they're good/bad or whether or not they work as that wasn't the question you asked. I would assume though as there is so much confusing information about them personally, as a diabetic, I would stay clear of them as you just don't know what effects they may or may not have.
