See your doctor: It's time for a check up with your doctor. Depending on your history, exam and blood work, and any other tests that are indicated, you may have something going on (example: hyperthyroidism). You need to be evaluated!

Diabetes or Thyroid: The two most common reasons are high sugars causing calorie loss in the urine and hyperthyroidism. Both can be easily determined from blood tests.
