Too much coffee puts me to sleep.It affects different people in different ways. It depends on your body chemistry. Excessive sugar makes me lethargic.
TD
Ha, and I love ya for it!And me hehe.
Too much sugar for me causes thirst, urination, itchy skin, nerve damage, fatigue, and so forth.
Diabetes, but diabetes is caused by weight gain and sugar alone doesn't cause that. Plenty of other means to over eat and it doesn't involve sugar.Really?? Too much sugar can cause all of those things? Hmm,.. that's interesting. I didn't know that.

Natural sugary and a diabetic night mate
Raisins,bannanas,apples,grapes, pears,oranges and citrus. Yrs they can eat these but must monitor their insulin to be safe
Sugar does not cause diabetes. Diabetes is a result of the pancreas failing to produce enough or any insulin. Type II diabetes is when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or the insulin it does produce is not functioning well. Type I diabetes is when the pancreas produces no insulin.
Type II diabetes can usually be controlled. Losing weight is one way to help. Getting more exercise is helpful because it allows us to burn off the glucose faster. And medications can be helpful.
Type I diabetes usually requires regular insulin injections.
Our bodies, particularly the liver, convert food into blood glucose (sugar) which is distributed throughout the body via the blood stream to feed our cells. The pancreas produces insulin into the blood which is a hormone that helps cells use the blood glucose by making the cell walls to pass the glucose inside.
When we are diabetic, we may not have enough effective insulin so the cells don't use the glucose and it remains in the blood. Our cells are essentially starving because they can't use the food (glucose) from the blood.
Glucose at high levels in the blood is toxic and can cause all kinds of problems including insatiable thirst, feelings of hunger, fatigue, excessive urination as our kidneys try to clean the system, itchy skin as a result of nerve damage, and others.
Prolonged high glucose levels can result in major nerve damage to the extremities (hands and feet), kidneys, eyes, and so forth resulting in amputations, kidney failure, blindness, etc.
I was diagnosed with type II diabetes in 2012. As I mentioned, one of the ways we can treat type II diabetes is by controlling our diet. We do this by controlling our intake of simple carbohydrates which include sugar, grain, and starches.
Candy, cake, pie, cookies, pancake syrups, honey, soft drinks, and other sweetened foods are a problem. Grains need to be limited like bread, cereal, pasta, pizza crust, and so forth because most of these are made from processed bleached flour which is very low in fiber. Whole grains are better due to high fiber content. Starchy foods like corn, peas, potatoes, squash, pumpkin, gravy and other sauces thickened with flour or corn starch must be limited.
I try to maintain a diet that is between 100 - 120 grams of carbohydrates per day. This helps maintain my weight and control my blood sugar spikes. If I eat too many sweet things for example, I feel it in my legs and ankles because my nerves will begin to crawl or I might notice that I am exceptionally thirsty.
Just for fun, count up the carbs you use in any given day and I think you'll be surprised.
I did know that sugar could cause diabetes though.
To prevent glucose spikes between meals, I need to spread out my carb intake over the course of the day. In other words, it won't work to have a high carb breakfast (100g) and then not consume carbs the rest of the day. This is because breakfast would flood my system and my blood glucose would spike very high.I would count them but that's an awful lot for my brain to keep track of lol
It's about blood sugar levels...and really reducing your carbohydrate intake so that your body will use the stored carbs in your liver (and other locations) and begin using the other types of insulin.Overweight ,eat more fat ,that makes no sense . Few diabetics and I know one are underweight she has no working pancreas and has been type one for years.
Just saying.
