My mother is 75 years old and suffering from diabetes since last 35 years. Recently she has been steadily losing weight and has lost quite a bit of appetite. Her sugar levels keep fluctuating though taking regular medications. Her TSH is 5.6 but T3 T4 levels are normal. What could be the probable diagnosis?
