Biggirl, it is likely that the cravings for sugar will lessen. I'm not certain that they will go away. But, if you find something to replace the cravings, it will be helpful. Take up working out, or running. If you're interested in sewing at all, you might enjoy embroidery or, perhaps, counted cross stitch. I really enjoy adult coloring! I can lose myself for hours, and never even think of sweets or salt. But be sure, whatever you choose, remember to drink enough water 💦. Unless your care provider has restricted your fluid intake, your kidneys don't work as hard if you're drinking 6-8 cups of water daily. I hope this has been helpful. I am a sugar-a-holic! But I'm also insulin dependant diabetic with chronic kidney disease. So I do understand your frustration. I wish you well and I hope your stresses decrease very soon!!!

I have similar issues plus I have type 2 diabetes so craving all this sugar is not helpful. I hope it goes away!
