Long standing as well as lack of diabetes control, taking tablets containing metformin are usual causes of gas and undigestion in diabetics. Attend to this on priority. Take other precautions like avoiding spicy, fried items, unusual seasonal vegetables and fruits. Regular light exercise like walking .uncontrolled diabetes also can be a cause of weight loss. Your ppbs is higher. Hba1c test may help in need of urgency of better monitoring and control of blood sugar. If no improvement consult your diabetologist for further advise.
