If you are anything like me then you have a tooth for spicy savory foods and sweets have always been on the back plan. I have always been like that. I would choose a sandwich over a cupcake any day. This has not been the case lately. I have started craving chocolate and anything to do with sugar intensely. I decided to look it up because I got a little curious as to why I'm suddenly experiencing a major sweet tooth? I have also noticed that I have a problem concentrating or remember the most basic concepts. My head would be aching for days unless I had some sugar. I knew that this was not like me, so I have done some research about it and here's what I came up with.
Sudden craving for sugar means your blood sugar is low. Glucose (sugar) is a very vital source for energy and when it runs low you start shaking and get very weak. Many people may faint. Others have trouble speaking and concentrating. This condition is called hypoglycemia. It usually occurs in people who have diabetes and for those people who don't have diabetes it may show that there is some sort of problem with some other areas like the pancreas.
A couple of things to do if you are experiencing a sudden unexpected craving for sugar is to get a check up, but meanwhile to be very careful on the roads. Many people who suffer from hypoglycemia don't realize that they are having one of the "episodes" until it's too late. Always carry a quick-fix with you in case you feel a little light-headed and dizzy.
I am a little informed now and the sudden sweet tooth isn't so mysterious anymore.
