I'm insulin resistant and my mother in law is diabetic. We're both on Met. Recently, she told me that her doctor claimed that a large majority of prescriptions for Insulin Resistance and Diabetes can cause a person to feel hungry all the time. I've noticed for quite some time, even before talking to my mother in law, that I have been feeling ravenously hungry all of the time. I'm watching what I eat, how much and when, but if I don't eat every few hours (at least a small healthy snack--- no more big meals for me!) I go through a kind of weird experience where I literally start shaking and have excess salivation and feel nauseous. I asked my doctor about it. She shrugged it off saying that it's because I'm conditioned that way. I've been eating a restricted diet since April, felt fine for a while, been on Met since March and now I'm feeling this way. It doesn't make sense. I'm on 500 mg of Met (3 X per day) since March. My doctor refuses to re-evaluate my dosage level. I shared this with my mother in law, who then told me about what her doctor said and how she is being switched to a different prescription that does not have this side effect.

Is there any validity to the thought that Met makes you more hungry all the time? Anyone else experience this?
