Diabetologist 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
I am sorry to hear you have been having difficulties getting your blood sugar in the normal range now. I am very happy you are this conscientious because having a well controlled blood sugar is very important in preventing the onset of diabetic complications.
In my opinion the weight loss is due to uncontrolled blood sugars.
due to uncontrolled blood sugars and lack of insulin your body you will be using more protein than carbohydrate
i suggest you to see your doc and consider taking medication for better control
with good control your weight will increase.
Hope I was able to help you.
If you have any further question feel free to write me back. I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Best Regards.
