Hello XXXXXXX
Hope you are feeling better ,besides your weight problem.
I am sorry for the delay but only now I could read your query.I apologize for that.
I read carefully your query and I don't think you have any major problem with your weight.It is normal that being on diet ,increasing your physical activity and stress can cause some weight loss.A weight loss of 2-3 kg in few months is not considered a significant loss and it doesn't indicate a specific condition that is causing the weight loss.
You may need to increase your calorie intake (eat a well balanced diet).Make sure to eat enough proteins a day (lean meat,chicken meat ,fish).
Remember that being continuously on stress and being worried all the time for your health,or working too hard can cause weight loss.
In your case the weight loss is gradual,small and it doesn't indicate for sure a problem.
You may need to get your fasting blood sugar checked once in 3-4 months just to make sure it stays in normal levels.
Getting a HIV test done will relieve some anxiety in you but this is your decision.
The feeling of tiredness in jaw can be related with a dental problem like teeth grinding or might be due to TMJ disorder (inflammation of the temporo -mandibular joint or jaw joint) that can cause tiredness of face muscles and pain when you open the mouth.Mecobalamin usually doesn't cause such symptoms.
This might be related to stress. The body often reacts to stress by clenching or grinding the teeth and this can makes the jaw muscles work harder.
It doesn't seem to be of concern.
Regarding your muscle twitching ,the fact that it hasn't progressed in all these months,it happens from time to time, you don't have any other symptom like muscle weakness, numbness, tingling etc, may indicate that you have just a benign muscle fasciculations that are felt like muscle twitching.They happen without any known cause and you may need to learn to ignore them.
Take care.

Hello again XXXXXXX
No,I don't think you have Diabetes.You blood sugar was a bit high but not to be diagnosed as diabetes.Diabetes is diagnosed when you have a fasting blood sugar over 126 mg/dl ,or a random blood sugar over 200 mg/dl.
Since it has been 3 months since you did the HbA1c ,I would suggest to repeat the test again and repeat the fasting blood sugar to see their level now.
You should try to eat regularly and frequent meals.Try not to skip meals and make sure to take the necessary calories every day.
Take care.
