I'm Patty. Having trouble controlling cravings, even when not actually hungry.
Also my blood sugars, type 2 diabetes, are rising. Not good, I know. I welcome all help, encouragement.

    Welcome, Patty! I cannot testify about anything diabetes-related, but there are threads here which can. Search them out, you'll get much more information quickly than sitting here waiting for others to post a response. If you have a specific question you cannot find anywhere, create a post with the question hinted at in the title, and others will either answer directly or point you to a resource thread which can help.

    Welcome Patty!

    Lots of diabetics here. Stick around. There’s a lot of good people and advice to be found on the forums.

    There’s a lot of different reasons why you might be having cravings. Could be nutrient related, habit related, or psychological.

    Try logging your diet scrupulously for a couple weeks, along with any exercise you do.
    Track that with your glucose levels, and any emotional or other factors that arise.

    You might spot a pattern.

    You might also want to schedule an appointment with a registered dietitian for some detailed individual advice.
