It's it not simply because you tend to eat lots of shite when on the munchies?

I wouldn't devour a whole bag of haribo and 2l of coke when I'm not stoned.

That's a lot of sugar

Sugar consumption doesn't directly cause diabetes.

Being overweight is one of several primary causes, and yes consuming too many calories will make you overweight.

Once you have diabetes consuming sugar / carbohydrates contributes to a whole host of issues.

Yeah, it's absolutely because of the munchies.

Back when I was vaping I would eat so many Haribo gummies I would throw up. My A1C is not great.

I feel the need to clarify that sugar doesn't cause diabetes, but being overweight is linked to it. Sugar only helps you get there in high amounts.

E: Someone beat me to it.
