A member asked:
I have lost 20lbs in 4 weeks (unintentional). do i have diabetes 2?

Workup needed: I doubt you have diabetes 2, but a significant weight loss like that without intention to loose weight warrants urgent medical workup. Please see your doctor asap.

It depends: If you have a blood sugar high then you have diabetes. There are so many other conditions which cause unintentional weight loss.
