    No. It's just craving something sweet, that's all. If you are diabetic though, you should test your blood glucose and see what the read is. The two times I desperately craved anything "sweet", including fruit--all the stuff I don't normally keep in hand at home, I was suffering from food poisoning for a week and hadn't eaten much so was going through a period of low blood sugar and needed to take in some glucose (drank the liquid from a canned fruit tin, not good but it got me up enough to eat a sandwich).

    No, not always. Your hormones effect your emotions. Used to crave chocolate, and my blood sugar was not low.

    There are some very sweet things I do not like. Petit fores us one if them. The icing is sugar.

    Sometimes I crave sweet things when my blood sugar is high.

    No, its just a sugar addiction. I am type 2 diabetic and don't have low sugar levels but I do crave something sweet a lot of the time and probably because I had a bad diet of sweet things before I was diagnosed with type 2 about 10 years ago.

    It might be. You could also just a have a sugar addiction which is a real thing.

    could be if you are diabetic but it can also signify a " sugar addiction "

    Not necessarily, it could just be a psychological craving, not a biological one.
