3. Unexplained Weight Loss
Losing weight without trying can sometimes be a sign that the body is not using glucose properly. When insulin is not working well or is not available in enough amounts, cells may not get the energy they need from glucose.
As a result, the body may begin breaking down fat and muscle for fuel. This can lead to unexpected weight loss, even if the person is eating normally or feeling hungrier than usual.
Unexplained weight loss should always be discussed with a healthcare professional. It can happen for many reasons, including thyroid disease, digestive disorders, infection, cancer, depression, medication effects, and diabetes.
