I have had type 1 diabetes for 59 years. I also get strong cravings for chocolate. I researched it and found several online responses that stated this: If you crave chocolate, it doesn't mean your body has a chocolate deficiency, although I think most people would prefer that. Chocolate is high in magnesium.Cravings for it often indicate that your body is deficient in magnesium, which is a common deficiency in diabetics.
I purchased some magnesium tablets and a liquid that is magnesium mixed with aloe oil that I rub onto my legs to get it directly absorbed into my cells. Then I take the magnesium tablets. After 10 minutes, my cravings stop. Magnesium works best when consumed with some potassium. I consume 3 slices of peaches before consuming the magnesium. Magnesium also affects our metabolism. So it helps us loose some weight. It contributes to new cells being made also. It is hard to obtain through our diet and food. Hope this helps.
