A member asked:

When you eat or drink something with sugar whether its a large portion of sugar or not and get a headache do it mean u have diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you are really concerned you have diabetes you should go and see a physician and they can do a glucose tolerance test on you. Odds are that you do not have diabetes, but signs and symptoms would include polydipsia (drinking a lot) and polyuria (peeing a lot).

A member asked:

So I have decided to cut out sugar. What I mean by that is I only eat my 3 meals a day and drink a lot of water. Is it normal to experience a breakout about two weeks after the start of it. I am still getting sugar in but only if it is part of a meal?
