Patient's question:
My friend told me that one of his classmates from middle school recently got diabetes and has become very thin. It's like his skin and bones. Then I got curious, wondering why diabetes causes weight loss? Do all people with diabetes experience this? Or is it that everyone has their own unique constitution, and not everyone will have this kind of situation?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of the aforementioned condition is caused by poor blood sugar control after a recurrence of diabetes, leading to a resurgence of the body's high catabolic state. After a recurrence of diabetes, weight loss will not occur as long as blood sugar control is good. If blood sugar control is poor again and the values rise significantly, it may lead to the recurrence of weight loss symptoms. This is also one of the typical symptoms of diabetes.
