(Don't report post, I am trying to look for some help on this)

I posted this on another forum, but did not get any reasonable answers for help. Does this look normal to anyone? I am losing weight rapidly. I went from 8 and a half stone to just under 8 stone in a matter of days. My blood sugars are fine (10 and under), my ketones are in normal range. I take my insulin 4 times a day, (Novorapid 3 times and Tresiba 1 time).

I have a normal healthy appetite, sometimes I eat too much, but even after eating junk food I don't gain a thing. This is starting to worry me as I have never been able to see my ribs or spine or any of my back bones before. I've not always been slim.

My DSN does not seem that bothered about this, whereas I do and so does my mum. Help???

Personally I'd be worried about this too and at the very least getting myself an appointment with the GP!
 
I agree, I would definitely get an appointment to see about it xx
 
Agree totally with @Sprogladite in addition you will be stressing yourself out and that will not be aiding the situation.
GP on an urgent basis. At the very least you need an opinion and examining.
 
@Sprogladite and @Kaylz I am trying to get into the doctors for Friday as I have no way of getting there till the end of the week. I don't understand how I am losing so much weight when the stuff I eat is high in carbs and fatty. I've tried eating healthy, no weight gain, I've tried eating fatty junk food, no weight gain, I don't know what I am doing wrong!

What about calling 111, explain the situation - they may be able to offer assistance to get you there or possibly an urgent home visit?
