Special hunger is the body’s alarm signal to you. If it is too much work during the day, too much physical exertion or mental activity, or because of excessive dieting, it is the body telling you that it is time to eat, or else you will be hypoglycemic. The typical symptoms of hypoglycemia are hunger accompanied by cold sweats and panic, and severe hypoglycemia can lead to coma.
If you have had three good meals and not much physical exertion, and you appear to be particularly hungry, especially in young women, you should also be aware of hyperthyroidism and go to the hospital for an ultrasound of the thyroid gland and thyroid function tests.
For people who are obese and have a fatty liver, they should also be alert to diabetes, especially if they have a family history of diabetes. People with diabetes have disturbed blood sugar regulation and are prone to hypoglycemia. They should go to the hospital for further examination and, if diabetes is diagnosed, for standardized treatment. To prevent hypoglycemia, it is best for diabetics to carry sugar cubes with them when they go out and feel panicky, cold sweats, or have hunger pangs to be treated immediately with sugar cubes in their mouths.
