Hello,
You are under the wrong impression, losing weight is not the sign of diabetes but it is the sign of untreated bacterial infection, or it is some systemic disease is there, most of the time it may not be the marked weight loss that can be taken into account for any disease, but it seems to be nonspecific.
Scrotal swelling could be Hydrocele, but it cannot be taken as granted until and unless it is being diagnosed by a doctor because it could be a hernia, epididymitis or last but not least it could be due to trauma or insect bite.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
In Diabetic patient, due to insulin absence or resistance the sugar level of blood is not controlled. So there is the rise of sugar level in blood, this high sugar containing abnormal blood flows in all organ & parts of the body. Everywhere there are some adverse reactions due to that abnormal blood.
In spite of high sugar in the blood, tissues are not getting sugar for energy. So, the alternate process starts in our body to get energy from fats and protein mass like the muscles of our body.
So, there are the decreasing amount of fats and muscles, and so the weight loss. Where there is sugar, there is a chance of bacterial growth. So infections are common in diabetes. The hydrocele may be in that process or by another process, which is aggravated by diabetes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
