Easily hungry

Introduction Easy to hungry means that after eating something, you will feel hungry after a while. Its symptoms are overeating, mainly to rule out the absence of hyperthyroidism and may have diabetes. Lack of energy needs to be supplemented to cause appetite hyperactivity, increased food intake, and high blood sugar stimulate insulin secretion, so patients are prone to hunger, appetite, and the feeling of eating too much, even eating five or six meals a day, the staple food reaches 1 ~ 1.5 kilograms, non-staple food is also significantly increased than normal people, can not meet the appetite.

Cause

The cause of hunger:

Diabetic patients are easily hungry because of the loss of a large amount of urine sugar. For example, if the body loses more than 500 grams of sugar per day, the body is in a state of semi-starvation. The lack of energy needs to be supplemented to cause appetite and increase in food intake. At the same time, because of high blood sugar stimulate insulin secretion, the patient is prone to hunger, appetite, and the feeling of eating too much, even eating five or six meals a day, the main food is 1 to 1.5 kg, and the non-staple food is significantly more than normal. Still can not satisfy the appetite.

Easy to check the diagnosis:

(l) Polyuria: The amount of urine increases, and the urine volume per day and night reaches 3,000 to 5,000 ml, and the highest is up to 10,000 ml. The number of urination is also increased. It may be urinated once in one or two hours, and some patients may even reach more than 30 times every day and night. The blood sugar level of diabetics is increased, and the body cannot be fully utilized. In particular, the glomerulus is filtered out and cannot be completely reabsorbed by the renal tubules, so that osmotic diuresis is formed and polyuria occurs. The higher the blood sugar, the more urine sugar is discharged and the more urine.

(2) Drinking more: due to polyuria, excessive water loss, intracellular dehydration, stimulation of thirst center, polydipsia and polydipsia, increased water intake and drinking times, to supplement water. The more urination, the more drinking water, forming a proportional relationship.

Differential diagnosis

Easy to be confused and confused symptoms:

(1) Eat more: Due to the loss of a large amount of urine sugar, such as daily sugar loss of more than 500 grams, the body is in a state of semi-starvation, lack of energy needs to be supplemented to cause appetite hyperactivity, increased food intake. At the same time, because of high blood sugar stimulate insulin secretion, the patient is prone to hunger, appetite, and the feeling of eating too much, even eating five or six meals a day, the main food is 1 to 1.5 kg, and the non-staple food is significantly more than normal. Still can not satisfy the appetite.

(2) Weight loss: Due to insufficient insulin, the body can not fully utilize glucose, so that fat and protein decomposition accelerates to supplement energy and heat. As a result, the body's carbohydrates, fats and proteins are consumed in large quantities. Together with the loss of water, the patient loses weight and loses weight. In severe cases, the weight can be reduced by several tens of kilograms, resulting in fatigue and lack of energy. Similarly, the longer the course of the disease, the higher the blood sugar; the more severe the condition, the more obvious the weight loss.
