I saw my doctor recently because I was worried about the weight I had lost without actually doing anything to loose it I had lost about a stone over a few months and was down to 81/2 st
The doctor sent me to the hospital for a chest xray and a full blood test .....the chest xray because I am an ex smoker and unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of lung cancer.
Anyway today went to the doctors for the results and everything is fine lungs are clear and blood tests all normal..Still a bit of a mystery as to why I have lost the weight as I have not changed anything much in my diet, I don't eat much in the way of starchy carbs like rice pasta bread as I am not keen on them but I did cut out potatoes and root veg because of my prediabetes . I feel perfectly well and I have been doing a bit more walking since we got our dog but she is only a little dog so we don;t walk miles every day but maybe just that is enough for me to have lost some weight. I would like to put on a few pounds again though so does anyone have any tips on that I have heard whey protein shakes are good
 
I used to have to have like bran flake stuff that sprinkled on food and added 'secret' calories.
I didn't actually put on but it kept me stable at about 7st 3lb which was still too light but better

Oh! how I miss those days!!! :] hit the menopause and rocketed to 12st and now 10st 7 lb and fighting!!
 
hi, glad your all fine :) my guess would be upping your calories should help you gain wieght
 
Hi. I can't remember on your other posts whether you have mentioned your age? If younger it is always possible for T2 to be mis-diagnosed as Late Onset T1. Unexpected loss of weight plus ever-rising blood sugar are typical symptoms. If increasing your calorie intake just makes your sugar rise without weight gain you may need to consider this possibility

Great news Annie about getting the all-clear for cancer, I lost my dad to lung cancer and wouldn't wish it on anyone.
