[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2450958, member: 521079"] Rapid weight loss is often associated with type 1 but does happen for T2 and is listed as one of the symptoms: [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/type-2-diabetes/symptoms/#symptoms[/URL] It is more common in T1 though. But for context, I had that as a symptom at my diagnosis along with the thirst and a bad temper. Loads of fun! So.. You said you are Overweight and with those High blood levels your body will be trying to excrete sugar as fast as possible in your urine and so weight loss isn't so unusual. I had the same symptoms and certain drugs prescribed now to T2 work in the same way and help weight loss So, monitoring your blood levels is important. If things don't stabilise or get worse then ensure you get in touch with your medical team Lots of advice on here, ask away Many of us as [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] said have used a diet change especially low carb to great effect [/QUOTE]
