Experiencing Weight Loss, Appetite Loss, Fatigue. Diabetic. Celiac Tested, Colonoscopy Negative. Low Thyroid. Reason?

Hi, I have been experiencing weight loss ( 18 lbs. over 1 month) loss of appetite and fatigue. I have type 1 Diabetes and been told that I may have an obsorption issue. I have been tested for Celiac, and have had a colonoscopy which have all come back negative. I have low thyroid count (per my Dr.) and dosage has been increased twice but I still seem to be not obsorping any nutrients and pills that I am taking. Because I am on an insulin pump my sugar has not been affected but definitely my thyroid and my appetite. Any idea what this could be?
