Abstract

People with diabetes and/ or obesity are advised to curtail their calorie intake in order to improve their glycaemic control and reduce their weight. However, many patients complain of an inability to manage their appetite and thereby find it difficult to control their calorie intake. Dysregulated appetite leads to glycaemic swings, and creates a challenge for metabolic management. Moreover, short term non-structured methods to suppress appetite often can cause a rebound excess of food intake, which can even overshoot more than the baseline intake. This article shares the non-pharmacological heuristics and hacks to help suppress and optimize appetite which can be used in day-to-day clinical practice.
