Dr. Oberg shares if there is a connection between diabetes and food cravings.

Dr. Oberg:
Sure there is, absolutely. Those eating behaviors often set women up for diabetes later in life. Often we eat as an emotional response to either stressful situations or eating to fill a void and when I work with women with diabetes we often begin by looking at those eating behaviors and trying to really understand and develop new eating habits so that we are eating to really nourish our bodies and our spirits as well as just eating for calories and for nutrition. So, food cravings play a big role in that.
