Have You or a family member with FTD crave sugar?

I was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Disorder about 4 years ago. Today the diagnosis was changed to FTD.
Now things are making sense. My wild craving for sugar is part of this dementia, as well as over eating in general.

FTD. For last year had wild cravings for sugar also (preferably baked). Gained 40 lbs in a year. I don't eat much otherwise. The craving for sugar seems to be letting up. Still not eating much regular food. Checked my thyroid. Haven't in 4 months lost a single pound. Which do I want more... Weight loss or brain gain. LOL
