I'm looking for health experts to comment on the following. In responding, please provide the city you're based in, online bio, full title, and email or PR email.
What are the main physiological reasons people experience sugar cravings, and are any of those causes distinct or more pronounced in people with Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance?
When a sugar craving hits, how should someone figure out what's actually driving it in that moment, whether that's a blood sugar drop, dehydration, boredom, or a conditioned habit they've built over time?
Once a craving is already happening, what are the most effective strategies for managing it without giving in?
What dietary and lifestyle habits do you recommend to prevent sugar cravings from occurring in the first place?
Are there any medications commonly used in diabetes management that affect cravings, and is medication review ever part of your conversation with patients about getting cravings under control?
