What Causes Excessive Weight Loss And Severe Stress?
My father is 85 years old, diabetic, experiencing dramatic weight loss and chronic stress related sleepless nights. I am 63 years old, diabetic, and also experience sleepless nights. I use 10 mg. of melatonin each night to sleep. I want to recommend it for my father. What do you think?

Hi,
I think stress itself can cause such symptoms so it is better to deal with that first. Why don't you take him to therapy for the same and I am sure once the cause is removed he will get rid of all the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita
