First of all he have Diabetes because he is always hungry and it caused him to over-eat.
The way that the diabetes can cause him to be hungry (if we assume it is not the other way around - as above) is that if it is not well controlled the sugar is not being taken up from the blood and being used by the cells. You end up with a situation where the sugar is high in the blood and low in the cells and so they send out signals trying to tell the body that they need more food.
