Not bad for diet alone according to my endo. She put me on Janumet which seems to be helping with my outrageous appetite. I asked her about my hunger pangs. I don't understand why I am soooo hungry sometimes. She said it was my BS and that I had to trick my body into believing it's not hungry. Like drink a lot of water. I'm sure others have had this happen. How do others handle this crazy hunger problem??

Quite often I feel as though I am starving and would eat styrofoam if it were handy...I am able to ignore it. Sorry, I haven't got any magic solutions for you! Hang in there, I know it feels really bad to be that hungry and I'm not trying to act like you should just suck it up.
BTW...you need plenty of water, but be careful you're not drinking too much as diabetes already puts stress on the Kidneys. I watched my Mom have dialysis for the last two years of her life, and I don't wish that hell on anyone.
