| I am a recovering alcoholic in addition to being diabetic; I will have 4 years sobriety on May 19th (Yay!!!) I found that I quickly became "addicted" to sugar when I quit drinking (and ended up with, among other things, an A1c of more than 13!) That sugar craving is hard to break. I am not sure why, but something that has helped me is consuming large amounts of whole grains and foods with a lot of fiber. Big green salads with things like cauliflower and garbanzo beans;things like that. It just seems to dull my craving for sweets.
