Is craving fruit a sign of diabetes?

Question

Lately, I've been craving fruits a lot, more than usual. Someone told me increased cravings could be a sign of diabetes. Is there any truth to this?

Anjali Deshmukh · Accepted Answer

I used to feel so frustrated and confused when my body would suddenly crave extreme sweets or fruits out of nowhere, it can make you feel so anxious. Please don't be hard on yourself. Sometimes it is just dehydration, but it is best to check with a doctor to be sure.

I have been craving mangoes and apples constantly for the past two weeks and I am also really worried if this is a sign of diabetes. Does anyone else get these intense fruit cravings suddenly? Should I go for a blood test?

Saraswati Iyer · Answer

Our bodies are very wise and sometimes crave fruits when they need hydration or natural vitamins. Stay positive, eat mindfully, and take good care of your health. If you feel uneasy, a simple medical checkup will bring you peace of mind.

Honestly, craving fruit is usually just your body wanting quick energy or hydration, which is pretty normal! But if you are also feeling super thirsty all the time and visiting the washroom a lot, then it's a good idea to get your blood sugar checked.

Any sudden and persistent change in cravings should not be ignored. While fruit is healthy, intense sugar cravings of any kind can sometimes indicate fluctuating blood glucose levels. Please get a fasting blood sugar and HbA1c test done for safety.

Haha, at my age, I wish I craved fruits instead of samosas and sweets! Jokes aside, if it is a sudden, constant craving alongside fatigue, don't sit on it. Just go get the blood test done and get over with the suspense.
