10 Diabetes Symptoms
Symptom #2: Increased Hunger
Excessive hunger also called polyphagia that occurs although you haven’t skipped meals counts among the main diabetes symptoms.
While you may eat food that should provide your body with adequate amounts of glucose for energy production, in the absence of adequate insulin, the glucose cannot get into your body cells. This leads to lack of energy which the body translates to a need for food, hence the excessive hunger. However, because the more food you eat, the more the sugar in your bloodstream without a change in the sugar entering cells, the hunger will remain. If you experience excessive hunger that won’t go away even after you eat, you need to consult a doctor for a diabetes test without delay.
