What Causes Rapid Weight Loss And Craving For Sugar?

I've been more interested in sugar lately. I don't crave it, I just like it. This is unisual because for forty years I've been a salt person and harly ever cared for sugar. I'm wondering if this could be related to hyperthyroidism, since I'm oddly loosing weight.

Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern. I would suggest you to go for a fasting blood glucose and a post-prandial(PP)blood glucose immediately. This rapid weight loss and your craving for sugar could be hinting at diabetes. Don't worry much.
Have a nice day.
