Brief Answer:
Diabetes or hyperthyroidism possibly

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns...

Please note that this could be due to a number of causes, the most common of which is diabetes and hyperthyroidism...

So, I would recommend that you get a blood test for blood glucose levels both fasting and postprandial together with a blood test for the HbA1c level to exclude diabetes...

I would also recommend that you get a blood test for thyroid hormonal profile including T3, T4 and TSH to exclude hyperthyroidism...

I hope you find this helpful...
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
