I think what happens is, after insulin treatment starts, the physical craving turns into a psychological craving. You really want some of the sweet stuff, not because your body needs it, but because you are feeling deprived. Just fighting these feelings heightens the feeling of deprivation, which is not good. The only sustainable way to deal with it, I believe, is to eat and cover for these foods but be aware of how they affect you. Do lots of tests and make all the corrections you need to make. Sooner or later, you will stop wanting food that causes you problems.
