What could be causing this?

Just lately i have been feeling very tired and i am loosing weight. I am 37yrs old. I have had type1 diabetes for 30 years and epilepsy for 29 years. My control with both is very good. I have been tested for anemia before, but all came back okay. I am 5ft 10" and currently weigh 8stone 9lbs. I eat well and do a lot of walking. What do you think could be the problem please?

I was going to say that those are symptoms of hyperthyroid. Talk to an endocrinologist to have your levels checked.

A chest film is a must for all diabetics once an year to rule out tubercular infection.

37 y.o. weight loss, could a lot of causes. Check thyroid, check for cancers: blood work, breast, colon- unusual but sometimes happens. Anxiety, stress, GI problems-diarrhea. You should probably talk to a doctor and to be asked many of these questions.

You should ask your doctor to check your bloods for any thyroid problems. I was tired all the time and lost weight and it was due to an underactive thyroid.

Hope this helps.
