tighter testing is important-during the brief time i was on insulin i used to wake up with unnatural hunger and either you need to eat more or inject less-but this is a very serious matter which only your health professional should advise on
i imagine it takes a long time to learn to use insulin and how it affects your system;in my case i skipped out of the problem by giving up everything sweet as it was easier than screwing around with the insulin but very likely this is not possible in your case so dont try it SEE YOUR H.P. ASAP AND KEEP SEEING HER UNTIL YOU STABILISE IT

Most of the time if you are that hungry, and it is constant, you can eat, and 30 minutes later be starving again... that tells you that your sugars are up. You will remain hungry like that, because of the sugar levels... when they starg going down, you want more, and it will raise your energy again,,, it is a non ending cycle as long as you are not eating properly, and you will feel your bathroom should be in the bedroom with you for a much as you probably wake up in the middle of the night... Get you a meter, check it 3 to 4 times daily.. upon rising, after meals, 1 1/2 -2 hours after eating, and at bedtime.. they should not be over 120.... 80-120 is good.... 140 after eating.... I hope this helps you some...

Dear Star, I can understand how you feel. Do not worry, this is common when your trying to stabilize the diabetes with medicine or insulin. The blood sugar level drops below normal because of the medication (hypoglycimia) and then the body craves for glucose and triggers hunger feeling. You need to monitor your diabetes more frequently. Check the blood sugar level before taking insulin or medicine. Also check it once when you are feeling very hungry, I am sure the reading will show below 70. nut8all@yahoo.com

it is normal for a diabetic person to feel hungry, it's a sign actually if you still don't know. others are: thirst(extreme water/fluid intake) and frequent urination. it is better t6o know your type of DM so that you will know the precautions

Whats you BS? Being hungry is a sign that you are out of control of your blood sugars. Check it offen and get it back undercontrol, you will feel much better.

I'm always hungry, but I was like that before I was diagnosed, so I'm not much help. Know the feeling though!

These are all hormonal effects.
You can manage it by taking high fibre diet.
Some anti-hunger medicines are also available now you can consult with your physician before taking these.

That's usually when your sugar levels are high, have you checked your blood recently?
