[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2266475, member: 403497"] Large amounts insulin driving down blood sugars may indeed impact hunger but it's not the insulin per se which is making the person hungry. When blood sugar drops below the ideal range to something being or approaching a hypo may then stimulate the desire to eat. The key here is appetite being directlt driven by the low blood sugar levels and not the insulin levels. In someone becoming insulin insensitive we would expect higher circulating insulin and higher blood sugar. In this case we would not expect blood sugar to drive hunger nor would the insulin either. Of course people like Ivor will say such a person is likely gaining weight as they are eating more and this us due to the higher insulin. But this wouldn't likely be correct. The higher insulin levels would be the result of increased adiposity which is interfering with insulin signalling/response causing the body to release greater amounts to elicit an effect. Acute changes in insulin levels not causing a hypo doesn't appear to increase the need to eat. Obviously I cannot speak or comment on your personal experience but I actually agree with what you are saying but interpreting it slightly differently if that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
