8 Warning Signs of Diabetes Few Americans Know Of

Hunger

Even if you just finished eating, you may immediately feel an instant feeling of intense hunger. That feeling appears again when your muscles aren’t getting the needed energy from what you just ate.

Your body’s insulin resistance doesn’t allow glucose to enter the muscle and provide it with energy. So the muscles are trying to send a “hunger” message to the other tissues in your body, in order to receive more energy into the body.

If your body isn’t able to make enough or any insulin at all, the glucose won’t be able to get into your muscles. That’s why you’re constantly hungry.

  1. Interesting article. I have been diagnosed with diabetes for a number of years, and has experienced all the symptoms except slow healing. Glad to miss out on at least one of them.
