Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM..

You are a type 2 diabetic with loss of muscle tissue.

Let me explain ,the reason could be two,

(1) uncontrolled diabetes itself can cause a problem like because fatty tissue between the muscle fibres being burnt out for energy instead of sugar utilisation (your statement that you are drinking more water and passing more urine --features of uncontrolled diabetes).

(2) diabetic amyotrophy which can occur with diabetic especially thigh and arm muscles weakens out.

You need to go in person to a doctor and get your sugar level checked and control it first..
Then on the advice of him or her take protein supplementation.

Hope this helps you.

Take care
