Humare yahan log kehte hain jab badan mein kamzori hoti hai tab meetha khane ka mann karta hai. Par agar baar-baar aisa ho raha hai, toh doctor babu ko dikhakar khoon ki jaanch zaroor karwani chahiye. Der nahi karni chahiye aisi baaton mein.

Well, my mind craves sweets 24/7, but my doctor says my pancreas disagrees! Seriously, if this is a new and uncontrollable craving, don't just joke about it like me. Go get your blood sugar levels checked before your next meal.
I hope you are not worrying too much. Sometimes simple fatigue or lack of sleep also causes sweet cravings. But to be safe, a quick blood test with your doctor's advice will help clear your doubts.
