I would get a test Jessica. I have no idea what may have caused your weight loss, but it's rather excessive so you should go and see your doctor to get his opinion

Hi Jessica, :)

Going to the doctor is a very good idea. Uncontrolled diabetes may lead to weight loss.

Various reasons can be causing your sudden weight loss, such as bacterial infections, hormonal changes etc; best get it sorted sooner rather than later.

Good luck,

Roy. :)

I would go and see your gp to get tested or pop into any Lloyds pharmacy for a free test
