Definitely
About 10-15 years ago I stopped feeding my sweet tooth. I don't get dessert at restaurants, I don't nom on Halloween candy, and so on. I stopped drinking pop for the most part about 5 years ago.
Now when I have sweet foods I can only eat what most Americans would consider to be a very small portion, and I don't crave it at all. My blood sugar is more even as well.

Interesting comment.
My blood sugar is more even as well. I'd be interested in learning how you're measuring that. Contact me offlinez.

I'm not measuring, just general observation.
Given my svelte build I can easily tell when my blood sugar is out of whack.

I've been planning to get a blood tester
The pharmacy has it in the diabetes aisle.
Yes Peter, pharmacies here have a diabetes aisle.

It really doesn't take long.
I stopped drinking soft drink and flavoured milk at lunch just a few months ago, sticking to water or unflavoured milk. Now flavoured milk is way too sweet and I feel funny afterwards.

Re: It really doesn't take long.
My main beverages are water, coffee, and beer. I have a very occasional pop; drinks like scotch, gin, or jaeger rather more often than pop. Oh, I do take cream in my coffee, but never sugar. It's just better that way.

I like my coffee like I like my women...
Strong, Bitter and Black. No wait. No, I just like my coffee like that.
I like my women: white, redheaded and fiery. Good thing. I'm married to a redhead.
I drink a lot of fluid a day. I drink probably 4-6 28oz glasses of filtered water (aka fridge dispensed water). I also drink about 60oz of Diet Caffeine Free Coke or Pepsi, I get it in an insulated cup with ice in it and it lasts pretty much 8 hours.
I don't drink a lot of coffee or caffeine product anymore. Maybe while eating out. Or maybe an MFL once or twice a week if its HOT.
Yes, I leak a lot.
