Has anyone else noticed, as I have:
that, when my BMs are very high, that is the VERY time - ironically! & unfortunately! - that I often crave sweets&chocs really badly!!

Which is of course not good for me, as it means a sugar-overloaded system then gets overloaded with yet MORE sugar! :-(

Is this my imagination? Or have other Type2 diabetics noticed the same extreme-craving?!?!

Yes when mine were high 9 weeks ago and the months before, I drank orange juice a full carton in a day, diet coke, pint of milk a day.. but didn't act on it though. I ate chocolate nd Crisp's but was losing weight didn't think bloods we r e out of control.

On insulin now and started victoza yesterday because I've been putting at least 1lb a week on I reckon,despite being incredibly healthy food wise since the insulin.

How have you been with victoza?

Pasta, sorry to me it's vile, yeuch lol (and full of nasty carbs)
Similar story here, when my BGs were 20 mmol/l or greater I could have ate a whole cake shop lol. Paradoxically you're not getting the energy from what you are eating due to insulin insufficiency/resistance so your brain sends signal to eat MORE which all in all is a total bummer. Hope things go well and you sugars go down to normal values.:)
