Im hungry, but im really not, i will be full after a meal and then i will be hungry again its been like this?


for a couple days, and its like this all day, i have no other symtoms not feeling sick or anything i talked to nurse she said i should be fine im a Male.

I had this problem for years. It turned out that I had diabetes and didn't know it. You should probably get a checkup including a glucose tolerance test and an HbA1c. You might be diabetes or prediabetic, or hypoglycemic.

Here's a good article that explains what might be going on...

Not everyone with type 2 diabetes has symptoms, particularly in the early stages of the disease. In fact, one-third of the over 18 million Americans with type 2 diabetes are unaware that they have the disease.1

Type 2 diabetes symptoms may include one or more of the following, note that extreme hunger is listed:

Excessive thirst
Frequent urination
Extreme hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue, or a feeling of being "run down" and tired
Rapid breathing
Blurred vision
Dry, itchy skin
Headache
Tingling or burning pain in the feet, legs, hands, or other parts of the body
High blood pressure
Mood swings
Irritability, depression
Frequent or recurring infections, such as urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and skin infections
Slow healing of cuts and bruises

Unlike type 1 diabetes, which frequently has a sudden onset of symptoms and reaches a crisis point before diagnosis is made, the signs of type 2 diabetes may be gradual and more insidious. Often, the first symptoms that people with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes experience are those from complications of the disease, such as blurry vision (retinopathy) or foot pain (neuropathy).

If you鈥檙e experiencing any of the type 2 diabetes symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider immediately for medical evaluation.

If you are in your teens, its also possible that you are going through a growth spurt. In any case, it won't hurt to get the blood work done and rule out diabetes.

ask a dietition to make meal plans for you
