ADHD and type 2 diabetes

[NikkiG51]

Hi I'm 51 diagnosed last Yr adhd and type 2 diabetic. I have struggled with binge estimg as long as I can recall...I'm learning now that this is due to craving dopamine as adhd do I crave junk food to bingevon ..chocolate sweets and crisps. Which has now caught up with me hence t2d . Is there anyone else in similar situation ..still being titrated on adhd meds as hoping wen get correct dose it may reduce my impulsively to eat. But if it doesn't I'm scared I won't be able to manage the diet and diabetes xxxx
