I am 63 years old and my general health has been normal except for borderline blood sugar for which I am taking Tab Glucophage 500 twice daily for the last 7 to 8 years. My problem is that while I was maintaining a weight of 69 to 71 kg for almost 10 years till the year 2012, I started losing weight and have reached a figure of 64 to 65 kgs. The loss has stopped now but I feel I am underweight for my height of 5 feet 10 inches. All the medical tests for all parameters are found normal. Is the loss age related? Any scope for gaining a coup! e of kilograms and look a little more healthy? Kindly help.

Hi generally the tablet what you are taking causes weight loss. Nothing to worry you can take protein supplements in the night with the milk. Can consume fruits like apple, orange, and plenty of green leafy vegetables do daily meditation for atleast 60 minutes
