Weight loss
Can diabetes cause weight loss?
I have active life style I walk a lot everyday 5-6 km.
Also workout one or two days a week with weights.
I have stopped eating non veg.
When I check my fasting blood glucose it's always above 115. And if I workout on night and check blood sugar in the morning it's 103-106.
I have reduced my intake a bit to reduce carbs.
Do you think diabetes is causing weight loss?
I see my weight is reduced from 81kg to 78kg in 2-3 months

Your sugar level seems to be just in the predial range. Although i suggest you check it from a lab ( fbs,plbs, Hba1c reports)
Weight loss doesnt seem to be due to this level of sugar.

Diabetes causes weight loss when sugar levels are high. This weight loss seems to be due to lifestyle changes
