There is why you feel such strong hunger, high blood sugars are a clue.
The process is that you are undoubtably being prescribed high levels of insulin to combat the high sugars. This level of insulin forces the glucose in your bloodstream to be converted and sent to your fat cells very quickly. So while your sugars read high, your brain is getting underfed, because the glucose that the insulin has attached itself to goes into the fat cells so quickly it leaves a shortage of the same attached glucose for the brain to use. Therefore the brain tells the body 'I am starved feed me more sugar now!'
Brains always win is these situations. The cure is to lower your food intake and in turn lower your dosage as you can.
Does that mean eating celery and apples the rest of your life? No, you should not eat the apples, too much sugar there.
