Eating a lot and not gaining a lot of weight may be a sign of diabetes. During the pre-diagnosed phase, most people's bodys simply (pardon my french) pee out all of the sugar in the body in an attempt to normalize blood sugar. Whenever a diabetic's weight fluctuates unexpectantly, they look directly at their blood sugar.
HOWEVER! losing weight might also be a sign of hypoglycemia because your body may process glucose too well, leaving you SOL later in the day when you need that.
Signs of Hypoglycemia:
Shaking
Lethargy
Decreased mental awareness (might feel like you're high/tripping and NO i'm not kidding).
cold sweat
irritability
weakness
numbness in the mouth or hands
in some, dialated pupils.
Basically, it feels like you're drunk and it isn't pleasant at all. What I do is carry a tube of glucose tabs in my bag at all times (they're cheap, they make a huge bottle for 8 bucks, smaller carry tubes for about 3) and a pack of crackers.
People can become hypoglycemic without having hypoglycemia or diabetes. If you say, skip breakfast and lunch and spend 3 hours in the gym, you're likely not oging to feel too good. When a diabetic becomes hypoglycemic, it's usually the result of a miscalculated dose of insulin, or not eating enough to cover physical activity.
