Since appetite has reduced along with rising sugar levels, this needs a proper evaluation before suggesting any appetite stimulant or changing diabetes medication. Sometimes medicines, sugar control, or underlying deficiencies can affect hunger. I would recommend a detailed consultation to review current reports, diet, and suitable alternatives to your previous medicine so we can safely improve both appetite and sugar control.

Regards to diabetes always consult your doctor before starting anything new or adjusting the dose.
The appetite drop can be due to age factor at times..Include variety of veggies and fruits in your daily diet which are diabetics friendly and if it still continues check with your doctor once
