Diagnosed With Diabetes. On Amaryl. Frequent Bowel Movements. Watery Stools After Starting Herbal Life Supplements For Weight Loss. Advice?

HI,
I'm 30 years old. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in August, 2012 and have been on Amaryl M2 since. I had lost abouut 25 Kgs and my weight had dropped to 92 Kgs when i was diagnosed with the disease. I have regained much of teh lost weight now and I currently weigh 108 Kgs. I have a severe digestion problem. Within 30 mins of having my meal i have the need to pass stool 2-3 times.And I cannot control the stool. If I dont pass it out i end up dirtying my clothes,such is teh pressure.
I have started taking Herbalife for my weight loss 5 days back and I'm experiencing extremely watery stools.
I dont know if the three issues are related or not.
