No appetite

Over the last few months I've noticed my appetite is either none existent or I'm ravenous, there is no in-between.

A typical day looks like this -

Wake up - lets say between 0700 and 0900 most days, feel like breakfast, by the time its ready I've lot my appetite so it goes to waste.

Take my metformin (1, 2 x per day - morning and night).

Later on in the day - usually between 1400 and 1600 I will develop a minor appetite so will have something like a bag of snack-a-jacks then nothing til later in the day - usually around 2000 - 2300 - not much, usually just a couple of bits of toast.

Some days the pattern repeats up til evening when i'm suddenly ravenous and will deveour anything in between.

I'm on insulin and take my basal at 1200 every day and bolus as and when necessary.

Blood sugars will remain mostly flat over the day (tend to rise overnight if anything). Screenshot from Libre below showing averages.

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Don't seem to be losing or gaining weight but i'd like to try and normalise my eating and this just seems unusual.

Thanks
