Diabetes
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes both mess with sugar levels, which can create a cycle of hunger when people try to get their blood sugar back on track. Low blood sugar triggers appetite, but going overboard can make those cravings worse. “What happens is people overeat and get too high of sugar levels, which also cannot be satiating,” says Dr. Levine.
“It’s a cause and effect that goes back and forth.” Even if you’re hungry all the time, try keeping your blood sugar steady by staying away from carb-heavy or refined, processed foods, she says.
