Hello,

Diabetics2 commoly get cravings to eat and occasionally overeat. What
causes such cravings/hunger to overeat?

Is it overeating causing hyperglycemia or normal eating resulting
hyperglycemia?

How status/level of total body glucose can be measured instead of just
blood status? Is it possible that a diabetic is defficient in glucose
on total body level but elevated on blood level, which may result into
cravings and hunger to eat more?

Sorry, I am bit unsatisfied about brainwashing due to commercial
interests, but it can be greed due to predisposed or aquired reasons of
defficiencies and unsatisfactions. I never remained defficient to foods
and never exposed to people/advt. of commercial interests, still get
cravings and undue hunger.

Best wishes.

I gues it will be either the high insulin levels (known to cause
hunger) or the starving body cells not getting enough glucose.

Any eating can do it.

As it is the bloodstream that takes glucose to all parts of the body,
it will be a concentration gradient from where the glucose is supplied
to where it is used. Speed of use, production and distance between the
two will determine any concentration differences along this path from
production to use. Blood glucose is surely the most useful measure.

Not signioficantly. What are you postulating is slowing up the flow of
glucose?

Do you have diabetes or insulin resistance? If type 1 and you use too
much insulin, that's why you are hungry. If IR, too much insulin and
not enough allowed into cells.That's why you ae hungry

Thanks.
Can this mechanism become abnormal in diabetics?

Can body system decrease blood flow or supply of glucose to
extravascular tissues to avoid excess glucose exposure to tissues or
glucotoxicities?

Type2 with IR. How too much insulin stimulate hunger without
hypoglycemia?

Not that I know of, Kumar. The only holdup in diabetics is at the cell
membrane where either insuffient or ineffective insulin blocks entry
of glucose into the cell.

I've not heard of any mechanism for this, but maybe an expert in this
area can tell you definitely. It doesn't seem to happen in diabetics
who all seem to get damage from chronic high glucose levels.

Well, the cells are hypoglycemic (intracellular) and perhaps they
signal the body to send more glucose, either by eating or liver
dumping.

It is bit unclear to most to whome I asked. But body may try to avoid
toxicities/excesses enabling glucose excretion in urine. I think, local
long term blood flow regulations of increase and decrease in size and
numbers or vessels supplying the tissues, vaso-oblitretions,
angiogenesis may be related to blood flow variations.

Can we evalute such hypo glucose to target cells more-- not going into
cells, lesser filtered extravascularily or total body glucose levels
are defficient?

I don't have the answer to this but I was just thinking the same thing.
Lately I usually have no appetite at all and often finishing a whole meal is
difficult. But then I had the opposite thing happen last night.

My dinner was brown rice noodles with roast beef and some raw carrots. Total
amount of carbs was approx. 45 g. This is usually doable for me. Tested at
two hours after eating and BG was 222. Not good! Much higher than I
usually am when I've eaten this same meal.

A little time went by and I realized I was starving! I ate a few peanuts.
It wasn't enough. I ate some more. Then I started in on the pretzels.
Newman's Own high protein pretzels. I know better than to have left the bag
sitting around and I know better than to eat them when my BG is already high
but I just felt compelled to eat them. Felt like I needed the salt.

Then around midnight my stomach was growling at me again. I just couldn't
bring myself to test, figuring my BG would be through the rood and resigned
myself to knowing I would wake with BG that was too high. Ate 1/2 a can of
kidney beans.

So what did I wake up to this morning? The feeling that I was starving
again, and BG was 108. The only things I can figure is that my 222 wasn't
the right number. I admit I didn't wash my hands prior to testing. And now
that I think of it, I did take the carrots with me and ate them after dinner
because I didn't have time to finish them. Could be I had carrot juice on
my finger or something. Or it could be I did in fact have some sort of
weird, transient spike. I dunno.

Cravings/hunger don't cause people to overeat.

The false belief that craving/hunger is bad causes people to overeat.

Overeating causes the formation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which
over time will lead to the insulin resistance that precedes the
development of pancreatic insufficiency of type-2 diabetes.

Post-mortem extraction of glycogen from liver and muscle for
quantification.

No.

Those around you who hold the false belief that "hunger is bad" are
also unwittingly involved in brainwashing you.

Only those living as a hermit would not be exposed to the forces that
are work brainwashing people to believe that "hunger is bad."

Whether such false belief can be predisposed/inherited or aquired?

How VAT effects the liver functions and normal movement of bile?

Then if we can't measure in live body, how can we say that total body
glucose level can't be defficient inspite hyperglycemia?

Where there are stores there is no deficiency.

If you have money in a bank, you can not say you are poor.

Other poster mentioned "Vat close(vascularily) ". What does it mean?
Are these fatty depositions, fatty degenerations, fibrosis, stricture
in bile duct, bilary statis, infection in liver effecting bile flow,
somewhat relaxed conditions due to iron overload/instability,
calcifications or otherwise?

We can check balance in bank account, but not in extravascular tissues
as you indicated. Stores can be of fats but i am thinking glucose
levels?

VAT can become so excessive that it invades/infiltrates the liver
changing it to a fatty one.

Glycogen stores are essentially glucose stores.

Whether fatty liver causes some impairment in normal bile flow?
Can it be defined as fatty changes resulting into fatty degeneration?

Are such fatty changes related to some impairement/abnormality in O2
metabolism?

How glycogen stores are effected due to diabetes2?
