Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I can suggest you to recommend her to do diabetes tests, fasting glucose levels, and postprandial levels. Type 1 diabetes may be possible.
Also, hypothyroidism gives these symptoms. So T3, T4 and TSH hormones may need to be tested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
