Also, is it normal to have lost five pounds in the last week? I think that might be due to stress/depression but I also read that that's another effect of diabetes. |
Yes, weight loss can be a side effect. However, five pounds is not drastic. If you are trying to lose weight that can happen easily. Any change in your routine can also cause it. Your weight tends to fluctuate, you can have readings with a difference of several pounds within a few hours of each other due to water weight, clothes, etc.
What exactly did the doctor say? How did he diagnose you? Did he test your sugar? What was it and how long ago had you eaten?
