Answer:
The classic symptoms of diabetes are polyuria (abnormally frequent urinating), frequently thirst, and weight loss. You can check your blood level at any clinic nearby or maybe a self-operated one. Anyway, being overweight is not the only contributing factor of diabetes. Some of it comes with genetic and some of it are because of malnutrition which leads to poor development of beta cells of pancreas which produce insulin. Insulin lowers your blood glucose level.

Answer:
One of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be rapid weight loss, it does not just happen to type 1's. My father lost over 40 pounds, my son about 30 and my other son lost 26 pounds all right before being diagnosed with type 2. It's the mail reason they went to the doctor, although they did suspect diabetes because there’s so much of it in our family. On the other hand, type 2 can also cause weight gain, anywhere from a few pounds, to a great deal of weight. With me, I had each symptom imaginable, but never lost or gained any weight.

Answer:
It's a good possibility that you've been diabetic for some time and it wasn't diagnosed. My father was diagnosed with diabetes about 61 years ago and he'd experienced a rapid weight loss. When sugars are running to high this can happen.

I've got some good sites for information that may help you solve this problem.
