Answers:

It very well could be diabetes. Significant weight loss and increased thirst and two big symptoms of it! It may not sound like a lot of weight, but let me explain completely first. When I was diagnosed with diabetes I had lost 7 pounds and my clothes were falling off, literally. But see, I was 5 years old and only weighed 32 pounds after the weight loss, so 7 pounds was pretty significant. Grown men have been known to lose 20-50 pounds when getting diabetes.
I would keep calling his doctor and pressuring him for answers until he gives them, this is your partner's life and health we're talking about! Millions of Americans have diabetes and don't even know it. Also, the longer he goes undiagnosed, the more damage that is being incurred on his organs and possibly his brain. Keep calling that doctor!!!
Good luck to ya, hope my information helped, and if you want to ask me anything on diabetes, email me anytime! I've been a Type 1, insulin-dependent diabetic for 20 years now.
