[quote=Anonymous]Oh wow. I have all the same questions for my child recently diagnosed with ADHD, not yet medicated. Keeping sweets in the house leads to trouble because of sneaking. I often won't realize that treats were snuck until there's a behaviour outburst and then later I'll find some muffin wrappers and put the connection together. We do try to keep the treats we do have around fairly high quality, meaning homemade muffins with reduced sugar and whole grain flour instead of hostess, for instance, or 75% dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. I'm still unsure if the cravings happen on days when she's disregulated anyway, like an attempt to self medicate, or if the sugar causes the disregulation afterwards. Does that make sense? There's a huge correlation, but I'm unsure of the order of cause and effect, if any. What research have you read?[/quote]
