(14,869 posts)I have a twisted view, I suppose. Until recently, I worked with an older population, generally with mental illness. Of about 100 people I had responsibility to coordinate services for, probably 2/3 were diabetic, often barely treated. On my second day of work, I had to break down a door to get to a guy who was in a diabetic coma. Plus my wife was diagnosed as diabetic a while back.
So, Sugar Coma has different implications in my mind than in yours.
To be fair, I used to have regular sugar binges. So tasty. I cant do it anymore, after over a year of eating basically without any product containing sugar/HFCS, now instead of feeling full and sugary, I start feeling very awful.
To be slightly less of a downer, a good piece of cheesecake is hard to skip. Charleston Chew's are my downfall.
