I struggle with this as well. I’ve come to understand that there is physical cravings and there’s an obsession of the mind. The mind is very powerful and therefore an obsession of the mind can actually cause physical cravings.
You need to deal with the mind as well as the physical.
This would probably require more professional help from an eating disorders type of therapist.
Again… you need to target this from multiple angles.

Your body can make all the sugar it need through a process called gluconeogenesis. You don't need to eat sugar or carbs for health. Though a diabetic should be very careful when changing their diet. Best to do that with help from their doctor.

Look into whole 30. I've been on it for about 6 months and don't have any cravings anymore. Before that I was so addicted

As I replied above, very small incremental and measured reductions, in order to alter your tastes and cravings in a way that will stick. For example, if you normally would have 2 tsp of sugar on your cereal, reduce that to 1.9. But make that a permanent reduction . Don't ever go back. Then after awhile, make it 1.8. Slowly but surely you'll get it down to where a bare minimum will satisfy your craving.

That's true but it's a survival mechanism of the body when the glycogen reserves are very low.
