CANTIKA.COM, Jakarta – Often feeling hungry is one of the challenges faced diabetics. It turns out that craving is related to neurotransmitters in the brain. This was revealed by the Endocrinologist Consultant, Dr. dott. Fatimah Eliana Taufik in a health webinar on Thursday 10 November 2022.
“The brain produces neurotransmitters that cause hunger and satiety,” said the doctor who is familiarly called Eliana.
Diabetes it disrupts neurotransmitters, chemical compounds that carry messages between nerve cells, so that patients are easily hungry and have difficulty feeling full.
To remedy this, Eliana suggested that diabetic patients control their emotions so that they do not go crazy while eating and taking medicines according to the doctor’s prescription so that diabetes can be controlled.
Eliana said there are drugs that can make a person gain weight. Therefore, consult a doctor to get a drug suitable for your physical condition. A drug suitable for one patient may not necessarily be suitable for another, she stressed.
