| I think the "debunking" is poorly done. Nough said for me.
As for whether diabetics crave sugar, I can say without hesitation that this one does as soon as my blood sugar hits about 11.5.
In fact I can often tell I've inadvertantly hit 11 or 12 because chocolate bars pop into my head, and it becomes an obsessed desire. Sustained control below 8 or 9 mmol/l for more than 8 hours and the cravings recede remarkably. I have never had a craving of the same instant physical need, while below 8.
It's worth noting that carbs can cause cravings in "normal" people becuase they spike the BG in them. I think for very obvious logical reasons diabetics can be prone to this as well and in a much more exacerbated way.
In my case, I have seen again and again there is a direct correlation between a high BG and a very real, physical, ravaging sugar addiction.
I haven't even mentioned the insane cravings that occur with a severe low.
Am I typical? I don't know, but not usually.
