Weight loss occurs if there is poor glycaemia control in diabetes. Hyperthyroidism also causes weight loss.
Proper glycaemic management helps in improving weight along with Diet modification .

Most common cause of weight loss in a diabetic is uncontrolled blood sugars. If sugars are normal then further tests would be needed to find out cause for weight loss
