What Causes Low Appetite In A Diabetic Person?

my son is a diabetic, he takes a pill and is losing weight. He is 6 foot 1 inch and only weighs 150 lbs now. He says he forgets to eat sometimes and doesn t have much appetite. He is also an alcoholic who works each day but drinks quite a bit each night. He also takes meds for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I am really worried that he continues to lose weight.
