Eat more meals!!
Most of us have similar issues which is why we eat more than 3 meals a day. Of course, you have to reduce your portion sizes accordingly to avoid eating too many calories. I eat 6-7 times a day as it's much more effective than only 3.
That does shed some light on the situation.I've only had diabetes for almost 2 months and I've been advised to stick to 3 meals a day by my doctor.

Your doctor may be doing that to teach you how to carb count. Hopefully, that's what you're being taught rather than the older method called the sliding scale.
Your recent diagnosis may also explain your hunger. Did you lose a lot of weight prior to your diagnosis? I certainly did and after I was diagnosed I was insanely hungry all the time as my body was trying to recover from what I had lost (mostly muscle).
Can you share a bit more about the approach your doctor recommended for you? It would be helpful to better understand what you're learning at the moment.
Your body is likely attempting to rebuild itself after all the weight you lost. While on first impression, the weight loss may have seemed like a good thing (that is if you had any weight to lose), your body was likely attacking your muscle in an attempt to feed itself.
I lost 30-40 pounds prior to my diagnosis and lost several inches in my arm and leg size. After I started on insulin, I gained a great deal of that weight back as my body was finally able to feed itself properly.
Are/were you on set bolus dosages (quick acting insulin)? As I suspect that's why the doc wanted you to have just 3 meals a day.
