10 Signs of Diabetes
Diabetes Sign #4: Polyphagia
Polyphagia is a term that refers to increased appetite or excessive hunger. Polyphagia can be seen in various disorders such as diabetes, anxiety, depression, hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, stress, fatigue, premenstrual syndrome, bulimia, and more.
In uncontrolled diabetes, glucose cannot enter the cells due to insulin resistance or lack of insulin. This means that the body is unable to convert the consumed food into energy. The lack of energy results in severe hunger.
