How do you cope with cravings? I'm finding it so tough with snacking. A tablet I (pregabalin) take makes it worse as it shuts off neuro receptors that tell you your stomach you're satiated.
I still get cravings,sometimes worse than others.If I must snack,find diabetic friendly snacks like sliced veggies,or my favorite,pork rinds (scratchings) wont hurt sugars at all,and they have the fats you need if you get the kind with fat still on them,YUMMY!!!!!A fatty piece of chicken,a fatty rib,yumm!!!!
The plain Greek yogurt with berries is like ice cream to me now.In fact I compared it to the diabetic ice cream and preferred it,who'd a thunk it?
Carrots I can now taste the sugar in them,another sweet tooth satiator (Is that a word,if not I trademark it here and now) with not much effect on blood glucose that Ive noticed.Blackberries and raspberries are better than blueberries,so thats what I mix in the plain yogurts.
There is a point where you want x amount of hours to pass between meals,dont stress on that yet....it will come with education and time.You have enough learning just what to eat first.Tweaks will come soon enough as you gain food knowledge.
Late night snacks still happening,working on the between meal time spread of hours have been tough,but Im getting there.
The severe cravings will pass,whether they ever go away,,,,IDK,I still have em.But then I say to myself....do I want to see,feel my feet,have my limbs....and understand certain foods
want to kill me....that helps me.I'd dearly love a loaf of hot artisan bread with butter,but will never happen again.But Im ALIVE to complain,beats the alternative.
