<s>[INST] I am 41 yrs old & have type 2 diabetes & recently lost about 15 lbs for no reason. I have been eating better but not that much better & I have a stressful new job that could be the culprit but im scared b/c i know my body & i usually dont just shed 15 lbs in 2 mths with little to no effort. I am drinking more water lately but dont know if thats from the diabetes symptoms or not. Im scared something more serious might be wrong with me. I also pee frequently but I always have even before being dx w/diabetes,i went from 155 lbs down to 140 which is great but im scared b/c i usually have to work much harder to lose weight [/INST] Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given and do understand your concern. However, there is no mention blood glucose level (fasting or PP) and HbA1c%, so there is no way to know whether diabetes is well controlled or not. Secondly no mention ChatDoctor. Persons with diabetes do lose weight at times fairly rapidly, particularly when it is uncontrolled with high blood glucose. That causes excess glucose loss through urine as well as increased frequency of toilet visits including getting up at night. In a well controlled diabetic FBG should be If blood glucose is not well controlled eating well can actually lead to more of glucose loss through urine. So my suggestion is please check your fasting, PP glucose levels and HbA1c% and try to bring those in the above recommended range. Then weight reduction will stop. Strict blood glucose control is the remedy.  Thanks </s>
