Why do we often feel cravings of sweets?Why does this happen with salty or bitter foods?
The answer to these questions lies in how the human brain is built.By eating sweets, many chemicals are released - among other serotonin things or endorphins, which improve mood, calm and relax.This is an automatic signal for the body that the sweet is something good, and the brain yearns more and more over time.
In people with insulin resistance and diabetes, there is another mechanism that causes the craving for sweets.The lack of blood sugar (blood glucose) lower than normal.It often appears after a long break at meals during the day and with irregular meal schedules.Hypoglycemia increases insulin secretion and leads to a strong craving for something sweet to raise blood sugar levels.This craving for sweets generally ends with the person eating more sugar than he needs.This, in turn, leads to a strong increase in blood glucose levels, thus creating a vicious circle in diabetes.
It is completely normal for your body to crave something sweet from time to time and should not be a reason for concern.However, the problem arises when this desire begins to happen more frequently.The red light should also light when we cannot control it, for example, when instead of a cookie, we eat the whole box once and we still don't have enough.In this situation, it is worth considering the cause of the problem and reaching the origin of the problem.Sometimes it is difficult and sometimes you may need the help of a specialist, for example, a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist.
Internet is rich in many tips to help fight sweet cravings.One of the most popular replaces sweet and unhealthy snacks with healthy equivalents, such as sliced carrots, nuts or fruits .. Unfortunately, this method does not work in most cases.As attempts to "deceive" the brain often do not succeed and, ultimately, lead to an increase in sweets of sweets and a greater risk of excess eating ..
What is the best thing that can be done instead?
In the first class let yourself eat that bar or cookie.People with insulin resistance or diabetes that follow an adequate diet to daily do not have to completely give up sweets.Although you should rarely eat them, in moderation .. it is much better for the body to eat a small amount of something sweet several times a week than to refrain for a long time and then eat a complete package of cookies, a chocolate bar and a packageof ice cream at the same time.You can also treat your favorite bar, for example, as an addition to the porridge to make a more valuable meal.
What really causes diabetes?The disease has been working for years.
The diet is the most important component of the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes.Remember to eat 5-6 small meals a day at regular intervals (for example, every 3-4 hours).This will reduce sweet cravings and maintain a relatively stable glucose level.In addition, try to create a diet with products with a low glycemic index that does not cause an abrupt increase in blood sugar.In addition, do not forget physical activity.At least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week.

Hello Fer Animio, and I advise you to touch the sweet and I tell you knowing it well.I did not sulked myI looked for my much that now he is no longer with me 3 years ago.
Right now I am recovered from those breakfasts that lasted 10 minutes of happiness but then I got out of control all day. The glycosylated hemoglobin 10.7 by the clouds in short I prefer homemade pastry and very little pastry.
So that is the answer in my case for happiness that generated sugar consciously and was more than 2 croissants sometimes good was the ostia but already stopped fully and returned to Mediterranean diet and despite everything again my salads.
I face thinking about the consequences of the same disease.
It's difficult but not impossible
With hyperglycemia you enter a bestial hunger
I do not use any therapy but I will do yoga.
I hope to control the anxiety I have.
As I have already happened in this disease I know what I say ... I seefast. I see if I put the free style 3 or an insulin pump x that I still walk at 9.7 of glycosylated hemoglobin. I have left the sweet but at most bread and I repeat that I am very afraid of hypoglycemianight.
The sport is a solution and I only walk every day but the sweet can leave me blind in a climb beasts such as I had them ... more than 400mg/dl of blood sugar.
Well anything you let me know or ask me because I have done many batters.
Let people know what there is no reason to say it (never do these follies)
What I fought in 3 years lost it in nothing and on problems.It makes I have diabetis 1 6 years and a half of which 3 of them superdes controlled, in short a lot of anxiety and sadness.
Here I am at your disposal.
Thank you
