Brief Answer:
Diabetes and its complications.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Since your mother is a diabetic, the symptoms like vomiting, constipation could be complications of diabetes.
Proper control of blood glucose is important.
HbA1C test should be done and treatment should be aimed at keeping it under 7.
Protein in urine could again be a complication of diabetes. To prevent further damage medications like enalapril or losartan should be taken.
To evaluate the symptoms of loss of appetite and loss of weight , a gastroscopy should be done as decided.
I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Dr.Barani
