A member asked:

Hypoglycemia, diabetes, low magnesium levels and low potassium levels. what does this sound like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypoglycemia: Sounds like you're losing electrolyte likely renal dysfunction. Some additional endocrine abnormalities with adrenal steroids could also be playing a part. Definitely something to get your doctor on.
