My question today is " does anyone have problems with their partner,relative being hungry all the time I have to watch J whenever food is in sight. " J is a type 2 diabetic and taking Aricept 5mgs would these factors have anything to do with it He has some diabetic retinopathy signs and so it is very important that his blood sugar is kept well under control
Apart from this we are doing OK and managing to enjoy life much of the time

    Hi, glad to hear life is good. Changes in appetite very common I know with fronto-temporal dementias. It is necessary to restrict access to sugary foods, replace with fruit or alternatives. Mention to your GP or consultant as a new symptom, they may refer to dietician for specialist advice.

    My mother is always hungry too. I looked up all her medicines (a total of 26!) Six medications (mostly for pain) mentioned that the side effect can be anorexia or feeling very hungry.

    Perhaps this may help.
