Symptoms of high blood sugar..beware of craving these foods
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which blood sugar levels are at risk of becoming too high.
New research has found a link between food cravings and high blood sugar levels.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Scientific Research, cravings for certain types of foods can indicate high blood sugar levels, and the researchers said in the study: “Since food cravings are common in the majority of healthy adults, strict dietary control and food deprivation Certain foods that are not allowed can lead to cravings for certain food categories in people with diabetes.”
And the British newspaper "Express" reported that during the study it was found that people with high levels of blood sugar had a strong desire to eat white bread and sweets.
The researchers concluded that the study results may help diabetic patients increase awareness of their medical condition and improve self-management and self-care habits in order to have better blood sugar control and prevent diabetes-related complications.
It is important to note that researchers have not established a causal relationship, so more research is needed on this topic.
Other symptoms of high blood sugar include:
Urinating more than usual, especially at night.
Feeling thirsty all the time.

Lose weight without trying.
Itching in sensitive areas.
