As a diabetic, why does eating sugary foods NOT make me thirsty, but drinking a sugary beverage makes me ravenous?
Cookies, doughnuts, snickers, twinkies—all high in sugar, none make me thirsty. Even ice cream falls in this category.
But grape juice, fruit juices, soft drinks, etc. are the bottomless pit of thirst. I get REALLY THIRSTY as I drink a soda or fruit juice and it takes a lot of water to quell the thirst.
Oddly enough, energy drinks do NOT make me thirsty and sometimes seem to hit the spot. But that’s another mystery.
So why drinks but not doughnuts?
