Constant Hunger
Diabetic hyperphagia is a condition that occurs in diabetics who are constantly hungry despite eating lots of food. This typically happens when insulin issues interfere with the conversion of glucose into energy. It may be difficult to discern between hyperphagia and simple cravings. However, the main characteristic of hyperphagia is a persistent food craving that does not go away after eating. This symptom can affect people with high blood sugar as well as people with low blood sugar. It can also be a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis, which can be potentially life-threatening.
