What Causes Excessive Hunger In A Diabetic?

Are his nutrient distribution organs failing in some way?
He has also had a cancer diagnosis last year, with resulting therapies (prostate type with metastases to thoracic spine and resultant damage to several vertebra there) and is in remission, and being checked periodically. I wanted him to take the bone building medication that I had for anti-osteoporosis treatment and it worked for me with an 8% rebuild rate, on checkups.
Please advise.
Not due to failing organs.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of hunger at XXXXXXX can be related to resetting of his biological clock. If he gets up early in the morning, he is likely to feel hungry.
The thinning of bone due to metastasis is not likely to respond much to the calcium supplements. If it is osteoporosis then the pain might reduce to some extent.
If his blood sugar levels are within normal limits then there is no need to worry. Feeling hungry at odd times is not suggestive of any failing organs.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

These medicines will not help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The bone weakening due to bone metastasis cannot be repaired with medicines like alendronate or risedronate. The bone metastasis can only decrease to some extent with the help of chemotherapy.
The new bone formation will not happen with medicines. The destruction can be reduced to some extent with chemotherapy.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
