3) Feeling Hungry All the Time
What could be the possible relationship between diabetes and feeling hungry? Well, it’s all about the game of metabolism. Type 2 diabetic people develop resistance against insulin, which means their body is not able to regulate insulin properly. It fails to push glucose present in the blood into the cells of the muscles and all other organs of the body. During the early stages, the body tries to compensate by stimulating the pancreas to produce and secrete more insulin. This results in the accumulation of insulin in the blood.
Both factors, increased levels of insulin in the blood and insulin resistance send a signal to the brain that you are hungry. The more you eat, the more insulin is produced and the more singles are sent to your hunger center in the brain – and you will feel hungry all the time.
