Diabetes II & Blood Sugar Level

I am 4 months post op and have lost a total of 54 lbs to date. 8 months ago I was told my blood sugar level was a little high (120) and that I should watch my sugar intake. This week my PCP told me that my blood sugar level was at 125 from a blood test taken 1 month ago. (Another doctor took the blood test for something else.) Before surgery I was addicted to all kinds of sugar products, pastries, donuts, lots of candy, soda, juice, etc. Post op, my addiction for all the pastries, donuts and candies were gone. I do still have a craving for juice and slushies, etc. even though I know I shouldn't be consuming them -- no lectures are needed here folks. My question is that are sugar cravings one of the symptoms of diabetes 2? If so, I haven't seen it anywhere. My PCP refered me to a Nurse, dietician, and an Opthamologist. I still have 100 lbs to lose to reach my goal. Will my blood sugar level go down after I reach my goal and stablize my diet without the sugary drinks? This news kind of hit me blindsided. I was surprised to hear it especially after the 54 lbs lost. Thanks!
