sugar disorder? any input or advice.?

I have been eating lots of sugar. I eat 60 to 130 grams of sugar. if i don't eat around 80 I feel really sick. without a lot of sugar I feel sleepy grumpy stomach ache. it's not caffeine I need it's sugar. lots of times I need a something chocolatey and sweet to give me a boost of energy. i am almost diagnosed with bipolar due to my eating issues ...but the sugar problems what is happening? the doctor says i may need high cholesterol and sugar to function more than others. my blood work says my sugar levels are perfect so why do i keep worrying. i pretty much have gotten used to the fact that my body just needs more sugar than others. Is this normal? i know it is but how much do i need to worry about long term affects such as high blood pressure, clots etc.?

    You are only talking about 1/2 to 1 liter of soda pop*. Not healthy, but not fateful either, if you are not diabetic. If you exercise less in the future you could gain weight with these empty calories. High blood pressure is a weight, heart, and artery problem. Eating sugar and blood clots are not related at all. *lots of fruit, fruit juice, [<much more healthy] and candy would give you this much direct sugar, too. Also, most food turns into "sugar" (glucose) in your body. You are probably just fine.
