@Dogfather, that was my response to sugar, for the 2 years before I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I’d crave sweets and/or ice cream, and then, about an hour after after eating it, I’d get so sleepy that I’d nod off for a couple of hours on the sofa. This response to sugar is a sign of Insulin Resistance Syndrome, which is the precursor to Diabetes.
For this reason, I strongly recommend that you get checked out for it. If you do have Insulin Resistance Syndrome, you can take steps to prevent it from developing into Diabetes.
Another reason to do this: Wonky blood sugar levels will also do a number on your mood and focus. They aren’t the cause of ADHD symptoms, but they can make them worse.
