i'v had a thyroid panel, and been checked for sugar in the urine but the doc says im healthy. I swear I cannot get full and food only feeds the hunger. I eat so much its taking over my life! If i dont eat my stomach growls and i get really dizzy and my lips get chapped. I know this isnt the place for medical questions, but anybody have any experience...for some reason i still think i might be diabetic.

Are you eating sufficient amounts of fat? My experience is that if you don't eat enough fat (like about a tablespoon a day, perhaps in salad dressing and margerine on bread), that I feel hungry. If so, I really think you need to see a specialist: it does sound like something wrong.

Your symptoms don't sound like diabetes, and they only vaguely sound like hypoglycaemia. Now that your doc has checked your thyroid function you will probably need to look for other causes. Make a list of the kind of foods you eat and check to see if there is a food group which you are getting too little of as this could cause a deficiency of minerals or essential vitamins, some deficiencies can have symptoms that look exactly like diabetes and other serious ailments.
Keep looking for a cause if it is really a bother to you, and in the meantime, eat healthy and enjoy.

I am in no way a professional, but recently my wife has been trying out the no carb diet, and the thing that struck her most was that the no carb foods she ate always made her feel full a lot quicker than normal (which is why the diet works... she doesn't feel the need to keep eating!).
Now, I don't quite understand the scientific reason for this--and I'm not saying that you should have to DIET--but maybe trying to cut down on carbohydrates will help you to actually feel full. Just a suggestion from my wife's experience!

I agree with 'Just some guy'. Those low carb diet do make you full for much much longer, When I used to eat 'Shredded Wheat' for instance for breakfast, the hunger that followed by mid afternoon sounded like the one you described. Howerver when I've had egg bacon etc for breakfast I could virtually go till evening without any sign of hunger

Check to see if you may have Cushing's syndrome.
You need a 24 hour urine free cortisol test. DO NOT ACCEPT A BLOOD TEST !
Just check the Internet for tons of info.
I wish you the best.

You need about 4 hours of sex a day. This will release endorphins in your brain...a naturally occuring morphine. You will become more relaxed and not think about eating as much. Plus, if your overweight, this is a fabulous cardio workout. Now go out and grab the closest drunk!

You are super normal, and what you have and others don't is a blessing of nature.
Appetite...
Do not refrain it, just shut it down between meals, with some chocolate or some nuts. No fatty things, they will store in the liver, and make you fat later in life !!!!!
Bon appetite

I cant say whether you are diabetic or not. Try MORE WATER and MORE PROTEIN in your meal this should take care of chapped lips and hunger. it oftern helps with me.
