12 kilograms from sugar cravings — where to treat it in Almaty

An office worker struggled with a craving for sweets that led to her gaining 12 kilograms, and for a long time she thought it was just a habit or a lack of willpower. When constant fatigue set in, she turned to specialists and felt much better after treatment

Тяга к сладкому: что она сигнализирует о вашем организме

How it usually happens

Elena, 42, an office worker, always loved sweets. She noticed her hand regularly reaching for candy or pastries, especially after lunch. Elena tried to "pull herself together," but without success

She thought it was just a habit or a lack of willpower. But when constant fatigue joined the cravings, she decided to see specialists

At KAZMED Clinic, the doctor carried out an examination. Carbohydrate metabolism disorders and insulin resistance were found. After a course of treatment and diet correction, Elena felt much better

What people come in with

People say: "I can't live without sweets, is that normal?", "Could a constant craving for sweets be a sign of illness?", "How do I get rid of this habit if nothing helps?"

  • Why do I constantly crave sweets?
  • What illnesses can cause a strong craving for sweets?
  • Can a diet help overcome sugar cravings?

How it works

At KAZMED Clinic we start with a detailed consultation. The doctor reviews your diet, lifestyle, and current symptoms, paying attention to the time of day when the craving for sweets appears

Next, lab tests are ordered to assess carbohydrate metabolism. Once the results are in, an individual correction plan is developed. It includes recommendations on nutrition, lifestyle, and, if needed, medication support

How to prepare

Before your visit, try keeping a food diary for a few days. Note when and how much sweet food you eat, and write down any other symptoms that concern you

Frequently asked questions

What is insulin resistance?

Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body's cells stop responding properly to insulin. This can lead to higher blood sugar levels and cravings for sweets.

What other causes can trigger a craving for sweets?

A lack of certain micronutrients, stress, chronic fatigue, or an unbalanced diet can also be causes. A comprehensive examination helps identify the true cause.
