It takes about 20 minutes for the signal from your stomach to your brain that you have eaten.

APPETITE
Blood sugar imbalances are often prompted by chronic mineral deficiencies. The vast majority of people living in industrialized nations suffer from deficiencies in major minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium, and in other nutrients. The brain, sensing these deficiencies, sends the signal to keep eating until the needed minerals are acquired, but since most modern processed foods are virtually devoid of these minerals, a person will never achieve the necessary mineralization consumption, no matter how much food they eat.
That's one reason why people can eat enormous quantities of processed or manufactured foods and still feel hungry. Their body is not receiving the proper hormonal "full" signals due to the absence of minerals necessary for normal blood sugar metabolism and hormone balance.
According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.

If you're type 1 you may also be producing insufficient amylin (sp?). It's another hormone made by the pancreas (like insulin) and it helps you to feel full after eating, in addition to preventing your liver from releasing additional sugar in reaction to your injection of insulin. They're marketing this hormone now as an injected drug called Symlin and I have been on it for a year and I actually get full now! It's also caused me to lose 35 pounds. It's not for people with gastroparesis, however, because its main effect is to slow the stomach's emptying.

Many type 2's feel hungry if their BGs are high. If you eat too many carbs, leading to high BGs, then you may feel hungry again a short time after the meal.
If your meter shows that is the situation the solution is simple. Eat fewer carbs. If you need to replace those calories do it with protein and fat.

Thirst also gives you hunger pains.

Have your doctor check you out for a ulcer. When I got mine, I thought I was starving to death and the more I ate the worst it got. There's also things like tapeworms, etc. Get checked out.
