Question: Do people withType II Diabetes crave pure sugar.? My friend is eating about 2 cups of sugar every night..?
Answers:
quite a lot of us DO crave sugar when our sugar levels are already high ( elevated glucose means elevated insulin, which we can't use as a type 2, so we get hungry which raises our sugar levels, and the vicious circle continues). It is common enough that a doctor will often ask about sugar cravings when diagnosing diabetes. And, it is one of the reasons people mistakenly think that too much sugar causes diabetes.

What other symptoms is your friend displaying.? Thirsty a lot.? Peeing a lot.? Tired all the time.? bad breath.? Seems irritable or confused.? headaches.? Fast and shallow breathing.? If so, he should see a doctor.

Sugar cravings are not just a symptom of diabetes. The use and/or abuse of some recreational drugs can also cause them.Health Question & Answer

Most of us need to eliminate all Carbohydrate producing foods from our food plans for a little while then reintroduce them one at a time to see what they do to or for us.

We need to give over on any grain product, any root veggie, soft sweet fruits, milk products, and most dried beans, peas and lentils.

I can have about 1 half teaspoon of potato, or that much breading on fish or meat.

To eat 2 cups of sugar every night requires an enormous amount of insulin to cover!! Your friend will get very very fat from that amount of insulin.Health Question & Answer

no way. the only time a diabetic would be craving sugar as part of their illness is if their blood sugar is going to low. in which case they need to talk to their doctor to adjust their medication because something just aint right!

if your friend is eating pure sugar then they are just going to make themselves very ill and complications will occur.

get them to talk to their doc and maybe a nutritionist.Health Question & Answer
