I have a teen daughter and a lot of problems with her. She is sick for several years. She has diabetes type 1. Now we (as a family) have problem concerning her weight. She is very, very thin. I would say sickly thin. Every day she has less weight. For some time I was comforting myself that it happens because of her speed growth, but now I am not that sure. Why she has weight problem?

It is normal in teen girl to be thin, but is not normal to look like sick girl. Hers weight problem is probably caused by her disease. In type 1 diabetes people loses weight in spite of a good appetite. That is happening because body breaks done muscles and store fat. This is an attempt to find a cure for hungry cells. Because of your tremble you should take her to her doctor for checking.
