Extreme hunger, especially after a meal, has to do with how the body processes food. In a healthy person, the body converts the glucose in food into energy. Since this process is facilitated by insulin, in the body of someone with diabetes, there either isn’t enough insulin available to fuel this process or the body’s cells have become resistant to insulin.
This can make the person with diabetes feel tired and hungry, even though they’ve just consumed a meal.
Frequent infections are a sneaky sign that you may be at risk for diabetes. According to Diabetes Daily, people with diabetes have a harder time fighting off infections because high blood sugar levels can slow the healing process.
People with diabetes are more likely to get infections of the bladder, vagina, feet, kidneys, skin, and gums.
If you notice that you’re constantly coming down with some sort of infection or your small cuts and scrapes aren’t healing as quickly as they once did, talk to your doctor.
