Regarding hunger
Sir/ma'am
I am suffering from an unusual problem from last 5-6months. Sometimes in afternoon (12-1) before lunch I suddenly start feeling hunger for sweets and also my hand vibrates and feels like I am deprived of oxygen and as soon as I eat my food specially sweet I get all my senses back. This happens 2/3 times in a month. I took Hba1c test and it showed 5.6 reading. I always eat heavy breakfast but still it happened today also. Am I suffering from any disease? Kindly guide

You seem to have reactive hypoglycemia
Reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia) refers to low blood sugar that occurs after a meal — usually within four hours after eating. This is different from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) that occurs while fasting.
Next Steps
check your random blood sugar level during the episode.Hba1c will not give any idea.
