Is Craving Sugar A Symptom?

Bed, we can't really help you without more information. If you're worried then please get yourself to the doctor's for a test. Some pharmacies offer free testing for diabetes, so that's another option.

Here's hoping that you're OK.
 
hya bed,
also have u told your parents :) if you think you may have diabetes its real easy for your dr to check it out, :D
 
Hiya Bed,
I wouldn't think that craving sugar is a symptom of diabetes, but if you're really worried, get tested as the others have said. Both my daughters are diabetic. Neither of them craved sugar before they were diagnosed, but they did wee a LOT and drink a LOT (8 x 250ml bottles of water during school for eg, and still feeling thirsty; going for a wee every 10 mins, waking in the night several times to wee, wetting the bed). They were also very tired and lacking in energy.

If you have these symptoms, see a dr this weekend. If not perhaps get a test just to put your mind at rest?

Let us know how you get on.

Hiya

I'd go to the docs if you are worried, just a sidenote I don't know if you are male or female but i always used to crave sugar when i was about to have a period, dunno if that helps at all?

At the other end of the age group I have had several elderly residents with dementia diagnosed because it was noted that they were eating the contents of the sugar bowls!!
