Increased Hunger Even After Eating

Feeling ravenously hungry shortly after a full meal is called polyphagia — and it's one of the three classic diabetes symptoms. When your cells can't absorb glucose properly (due to insulin resistance or lack of insulin), they signal your brain that they're starving, even though your blood is loaded with sugar. Your body keeps demanding food because the energy isn't reaching where it needs to go.
