Increased hunger and thirst

Asked for Female, 24 years

My height is 5 feet and 6 inches, and my weight is 160. For the past month, I have been experiencing weight loss, increased hunger, increased thirst, and frequently need to go to the bathroom to pee out large amounts. My skin has become dry. I have also lost quite a bit of weight. I experience moodiness and I am often tired despite a good night's sleep. I brought these up with my doctor but she ignored saying it was nothing. What could be causing these symptoms?

Dear Patient,

Hello, Anyone in your family has diabetes? When did you last check for fasting sugar levels? I think the symptoms warrant a thorough investigation to reach to the root cause. Ideally, your thyroid and fasting and random sugar levels need to be seen.

For further help, we advise booking an appointment with the best dietitians in Rawalpindi and seek a piece of in-person advice at
