 2. Sugar Cravings After Meals

• Why it happens: A high-sugar diet causes blood sugar spikes followed by sharp drops, triggering cravings for more sugar. It’s a vicious cycle.
• You may feel tired, hungry, and irritable soon after eating.

• Why it happens: The body tries to get rid of excess sugar through urine, which can lead to dehydration and increased thirst.
• You might also wake up at night needing to pee.

 4. Unusual Fatigue

• Why it happens: Your cells become resistant to insulin and can’t absorb glucose efficiently, so you feel tired even after sleeping.
• You may also feel mentally foggy or unfocused.

 5. Ants Are Attracted to Your Sweat or Urine

• Why it happens: When there’s too much sugar in your bloodstream, some of it is released through sweat and urine.
