I am on a high protein low carb diet and have cut my insulin from 200 units a day to 70 to 90 a day. My sugars used to be close to 300 and I'm on oral meds as well. My sugars now average 112. I have always had a horrible sweet tooth but have found I am no longer craving like a madwoman. I eat a piece of fruit or one caramel sugar free nip. The diet I am using offers sweeter tasting alternatives and this has helped. Having said that. I reward myself once a week w 8 plain m&ms.
