Hi friends!Today we are going to talk about one of the "three more" symptoms of diabetes - polyphagia.
Did you know that about half of diabetic patients will have symptoms of polyphagia, which means that they eat more than before, or significantly more than people of the same age, gender, and labor intensity? However, even if they eat with a bloated stomach, they will still feel hungry.
Some patients feel hungry every time they eat, even if they have eaten a lot. In general, adults eat less as they age. If a person's food intake suddenly or gradually increases, but instead they feel less energetic and lose weight, then it is necessary to consider whether they have diabetes.
So, what is the reason why diabetics eat more?Mainly because sugars are not well utilized. Although the patient eats a lot, due to the lack of insulin in the body, what is eaten cannot be used well, and all parts of the body, especially the hypothalamus, the nerve center responsible for hunger and satiety, do not get enough nutrients, so they feel hungry, which in turn causes polyphagia. In addition, in the early stages of the disease, insulin secretion has not yet failed, and the insulin level in the body may be excessive, which is also one of the reasons for hunger and overeating.
So, friends, if you find that you eat a lot but lose weight, be careful if you have diabetes!Remember to go to the hospital for a check-up!
