Sugar addict and hunger issues

I have two issues that really get in the way of trying to manage my blood sugar, so I wondered if anyone had ideas. From a very young age, I have had a sweet tooth, big time. At this point, I feel like an addict -- if I don't get something sweet, I just go nuts. I don't keep sweets in my house for that reason -- if I have them, I will eat them!! But not having the stuff in my house means there are so many times I have been pacing the house in the middle of the night because I want something sweet SO badly. I know all the things said about deprivation, but honestly, if I have one bite of anything, I just have to have more and more.

Also, I feel like I am always hungry. Obviously, a ton of sweets are going to burn through the system quickly, but even when I eat a good, healthy, filling meal, I am hungry again in a couple hours. I have tried eating smaller portions more often, but them I just feel like I am never satisfied at all. And it makes me feel like I am spending every waking minute thinking about food -- not fun for someone who needs to lose a lot of weight!! Ideas-suggestions?

I can't remember where I read this, and I've done this before. When you're craving sweets, take a vitamin C pill (not the chewable kind which often have sugar in them). Take a pill at the first craving. Take them at intervals until the craving goes away. Apparently, when we eat higher-carb diets, our body needs more vitamin C, and we have cravings for sweets, because high-vitamin C fruits are sweet.

I don't have a reference for this but it's worth a shot. You have to be careful that if you take too much you could get loose stools, but you could use an Ester C or something. Re the hunger, I have heard that if you're not getting enough nutrients, your body suppresses the satiety (fullness) signals or makes you feel hungry sooner, so you eat more food than you need in order to get the nutrients that your body isn't aborbing. This often happens if you have impaired digestion.
