Hello,
I carefully went through your medical report and I am trying to give you some suggestions.
At first I would like to ask you:
-Is your weight loss intentional or not? Have you been on diet or physical activity that may explain your loose on weight?
- Do your symptoms (stomach discomfort and low appetite) correlate with the starting of glycomet?
-Is your TSH level within the normal range with 50 mcg of thyroxine?

Often glycomet may cause stomach discomfort, loss of appetite and nausea. It is recommended to take it as long as you are over weight, if your weight is normal now there is no reason to take glycomet.

I am opened to answer you again after having the above information.

Best regards,
I find this answer helpful
