Following are important snips;

"..Two other factors significantly affect glucose measurement. The
disparity between venous and whole blood concentrations is greater when
the *hematocrit is high, as in newborns.

..Diabetic hypoglycemia represents a special case with respect to the
relationship of measured glucose and hypoglycemic symptoms for several
reasons. Although home glucose meter readings are sometimes misleading,
the probability that a low reading accompanied by symptoms represents
real hypoglycemia is higher in a person who takes insulin. Second, the
hypoglycemia has a greater chance of progressing to more serious
impairment if not treated, compared to most other forms of hypoglycemia
that occur in adults. **Third, because glucose levels are above normal
most of the time in people with diabetes, hypoglycemic symptoms may
occur at higher thresholds than in people who are normoglycemic most of
the time. For all of these reasons, people with diabetes usually use
higher meter glucose thresholds to determine hypoglycemia.**
..Signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemic symptoms and manifestations can be divided into those
produced by the counterregulatory hormones (adrenaline and glucagon)
triggered by the falling glucose, and the neuroglycopenic effects
produced by the reduced brain sugar.

[edit] Adrenergic Manifestations
Shakiness, anxiety, nervousness, tremor
Palpitations, tachycardia
Sweating, feeling of warmth
Pallor, coldness, clamminess
Dilated pupils

[edit] Glucagon Manifestations
*Hunger*, borborygmus
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort
Neuroglycopenic Manifestations..

"Common Symptoms of Diabetic Hyperglycemia
If you have diabetes mellitus, the presence of these symptoms can
indicate that blood sugar levels are too high:

Polyphagia (frequent hunger, especially pronounced hunger)
Polydipsia (frequent thirst, especially excessive thirst)
Polyuria (frequent urination, especially excessive urination)
But caution: Frequent hunger without the other two symptoms (which
invariably occur together, absent renal complications, bladder
infections, etc.), can also indicate that blood sugar levels are too
low. This commonly occurs when people who have type 2 diabetes mellitus
take too much oral hypoglycemic medication for the amount of food they
eat. The resulting drop in blood sugar level to below the normal range
prompts a hunger response. This hunger is not usually as pronounced as
in type 1 diabetes mellitus (especially the juvenile onset form).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperglycemia "
----------

Adjustment of efficiency of transfer of glucose from blood across the
blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system represents a third
form of compensation which occurs more gradually. Levels of glucose
within the central nervous system are normally lower than the blood,
regulated by an incompletely understood transfer process. Chronic
hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia seems to result in an increase or
decrease in efficiency of transfer to maintain CNS levels of glucose
within an optimal range.
Neuroglycopenia without hypoglycemia
A rare metabolic disease of the blood-brain glucose transport system
has been described in which severe neuroglycopenic effects occurred
despite normal blood glucose levels. Low levels of glucose were
discovered in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a condition referred to as
hypoglycorrhacia.

Perhaps a much more common example of the same phenomenon occurs in the
people with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes who develop symptoms of
hypoglycemia at levels of blood glucose which are normal for most
people.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroglycopenia "

Can above may be the reasons for excessive hunger and to to maintain
hyperglycemia in chronic diabetics?

Not clinically seen.

Bottomline:

Hunger is good.

Understanding with your heart the following two articles will help you
overcome your current false belief that "hunger is bad."

Read; thanks.

But I have some thoughts...i.e. resisting energy store
breakdown by continual insulin's exposure & so body system may maintain
alternative compensatory hyperglycemia for immediate need OR due to
either some impairmrent in glucose supply to briain, some tolerance to
glucose or decreased movement of insulin or glucose to extravascular
tissues either due to vasoconstriction/decreased blood flow or due to
cells swellings & vascular intimal inflammation(it may resist insulin's
filteration, it being bigger molecule)?

May GOD continue to heal your heart by curing your diabetes, dear
neighbor Kumar whom I love unconditionally.

Hello,

One symptom of hypoglycemia is "hunger" along with other symtoms as
indicated on;
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000386.htm

This is untrue.

Here is evidence:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/overweight.asp

It means that abnormal insulin's exposure can create hunger to save us
from hypoglycemia.

Simply check you blood glucose when you are hungry and you will see
that hypoglycemia is not the cause.

Hypoglycemia may always cause hunger

Actually, the adrenaline that is always released in response to
hypoglycemia ensures that people are not hungry but trembly, shaky, and
diaphoretic instead.

<rest of text read and understood as evidence of continued brainwashed
state and then snipped>

If you understand and take to heart the following true story, you would
no longer hold the false belief that "hunger is bad" which is keeping
you from eating less to lose the VAT that is causing your type-2
diabetes.

Most assuredly, without doubt, I know hunger is good:

http://MabletonGA.OurLittle.net/DreadNought

What is persistent hunger or craving, eventhough persisting
hyperglycemia and obesity is persisting?

Healthy and good.

As such, should anyone go on eating till hunger and craving is there
inspite of persisting hyperglycemia and obesity?

One should stop eating before one is full:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/overweight.asp

Basically, why one feel hunger and craving if he already has persisting
hyperglycemia and obesity?

Because one is otherwise healthy.

Whether intimal's cells swelling/inflammation can resist insulin's
movement to extravascular tissues(glucose?)..somewhat as you told that
supply to tissues is restricted resulting arthritis?

Not clinically seen.

Can foods with low Glycemic index or Load are absorbed & metabolize
slowly resulting slower but prolonged increase in glucose as opposite
to food with high GI and GL index?

Wiser to simply eat less down to the optimal amount:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/overweight.asp

As such whether nuts and other food with low GI/GL are beneficial in
diabetes?

Wiser to simply befriend the hunger that will grow much bigger with
eating less down to the optimal amount:
