A member asked:
A guy has a healthy appetite but he is loosing a lot of weight due to diabetes, how do we overcome this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet or poor control: Either he's eating a lot less than he's burning off, or more likely, his glucose is not in good control and he's urinating it out. Also could be due to other medical problems.
