Hello little turtle: I don't know about this stuff... I hear about sugar is bad for you... white flour is bad for you... this is bad for you... that is bad for you... & on-&-on... One thing I do believe is that the power of suggestion is strong. If one believes that something is bad for them, & they stop consuming it, they'll assuredly feel better, no doubt about it!
 Personally I just try to eat a more-or-less balanced diet & not get caught up in all the latest food fads. One thing I did read recently was an article in our local newspaper that talks about the fact that the brain requires large amounts of energy. So, when a person is tired, the brain craves sugar because it is a quick source of energy... for whatever that's worth...

I'm a big believer in satisfying cravings before they get out of control. Give yourself a little to satisfy the craving and then move on.

I'm sorry, little turtle. I didn't realize you were dealing with diabetes.

nothing productive to add but hugs to all and it was informative for me to read, especially the part about the craving sugar when you are tired. I can relate to that a lot. I am in my mid thirties but have become a sugar junkie in recent years. always in the candy. it feels good in the moment, gives me a stomach ache later when i've had too much, and reading this is definitely a wake up call that it can lead to worse things to come. sometimes it's so hard to resist when everything else feels like crap.

When I first got married I started thinking more about healthy eating, I wanted Papa bear and I to be "healthy". I went on a diet and lost about a stone and cut out sugar. But his family were very opposed to this... We also had/have skimmed milk which I quite like but I was labelled a "health nut".
Oh well.. Nothing compared to that ghastly doctor IRL who called me "The worried well"  NO NO I do NOT accept that "doctor's" labels, nor his abuse
