The sugar levels are very high. He might be underweight because of underlying diabetes. In case he has been always underweight, it goes more in favour of Lean type 2 or LADA (types of diabetes). 1) Confirm the diagnosis by doing blood sugar again. Preferably fasting sugar 2) Get back with the reports so that appropriate drugs can be started based on his lab values
