Hello. Thanks for your question. It will be better to have a full evaluation to find out what is causing the loss of appetite. There maybe associated co morbid factors as well as other problems like a gastric malignancy. complications of diabetes such as gastroparesis may be present. I will advice that she sees a physician for full evaluation.
