Losing weight around 7 kgs from 14 month
Hi Doctor,
My husband is diabetic from past 8 years, he moved out of the country for job, 1 and half year back. He started losing weight from then around 7 kgs. He is on metmorfin 500 mg tablet from past 1 year after doctor prescribed here. He recently got all his blood work done, everything is normal but hba1c is 11.2. so doctor added insulin. I am worried about his weight loss. Initially first 6 months he lost around 4 kgs due to change in his food habits like morning breakfast was only bread and lunch was limited.

Uncontrolled diabetes itself can cause significant weight loss, especially with HbA1c 11.2. Dietary changes may also have contributed, but further evaluation is advised to rule out other causes.
Next Steps
FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, CBC, ESR, LFT, KFT, TSH, Serum Fructosamine urine routine, urine microalbumin, lipid profile, chest X-ray and stool occult blood. If weight loss persists, further evaluation is recommended.
Follow up and consult with the reports.
Health Tips
Ensure adequate calorie and protein intake, regular sugar monitoring and proper insulin compliance. Sudden or progressive weight loss should not be ignored.
