Snacking

Insulin makes you hungry all the time!

Hi,

In my experience. The injectables. No. I'm hungry when I'm hungry. 95% of the time i can't do breakfast. I will have a brunch or lunch, then supper. I can fast for 12 hours, do a gig then want a meal? (Sing for my supper.)

However, regarding BG management. The urge to snack if it happens, may depend & corresponds on where BG wise I'm coming down from... & how rapid the correction brought me back in range?
I'm pretty responsive to Novorapid. (where other T1s report issues. But i'm not heavy on the personal carb consumption.) :)

Not always. My brother is a type 2 on insulin and he has found that, since he went on insulin, his hunger has dropped.

When I was on nova rapid I was hungry all the time and I also put a lot of weight on too. I found it a nightmare. I’m glad I’m not on it now.

So you meant "insulin makes Me hungry"? Using 'you' makes it apply to all.

No I didn’t mean that at all! I was told by my DSN at the time, the insulin will make you hungry so then you have to inject then eat and it just goes round in a cycle.

Your dSN is wrong for most people

Yarp, 46 years for me of pretty much the same advice for dodgy advised dosage.. Compensate by snacking.
I got a little fed up of being force fed?

Lol, my 90 year old mother still can't get the idea out of her head that I can't leave the house on a short trip without a packed lunch.. (& she has Alzheimers.) ;)
