If the wording is changed to UNTREATED DIABETICS CRAVE SUGAR, it is quite true. I remember a desperate craving for sugar in the days before diagnosis. The body was craving sugar because the lack of insulin was denying access to the copious amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Of course, the craving went away as soon as insulin treatment was started.
