it really depends on what and how much you are eating at mealtimes. if you are eating very little fat and protein which are filling you could be hungrier faster. here are some tips on how to stay full longer: include a protein source at meals and snacks. that could be an egg with your oatmeal lean meat with lunch and fish/beans at dinner. include a healthy fat source at main meals. that could be nuts/seeds topped on cereal or yogurt avocado on a salad or sandwich and veggies roasted with olive oil increase fiber intake by including beans fruits vegetables and whole grains which add to fullness. include salads at lunch and plenty of veggies with dinner. include 3-5 food groups (lean protein fruit vegetable whole grain healthy fat and dairy) at main meals 2-3 at snack time. keep your carbs consistent as directed by your healthcare provider. keep a journal and note which foods do a better job of filling you up because at least part of this is subjective. if you have recently changed your eating habits it may take a while to get used to eating different foods and more frequently. most people with diabetes eat at least 3 meals and one snack. good luck!
