Sugar should not be supplemented to the diet. Sorry to hear you are addicted to it. Normal blood sugar levels in humans are around 70mg-100mg/100l. Once the blood sugar goes above the upper limit, then sugar molecules bond to proteins without the controlling factor of an enzyme. The proteins get damaged as there is no control as to where the sugar molecules bond to the proteins. So you are left with non functional proteins. So any wasted proteins can’t be used for enzymatic activity and this adversely affects the body’s metabolism. The natural normal bonding of sugar to proteins is called glycosylation and is enzyme controlled.

Basically there's no need to add sugar to the diet, you get all the carbohydrates you require in a balanced diet. Sugar doesn't contain any mineral or vitamins as well, so once you consume the sugar you are in debt to your body to the tune of some minerals and vitamins.

Added sugar messes up blood sugar control as well and this can lead to hypoglycemia, which has plenty of unwanted symptoms which can include anxiety, and phobias etc.

Sugar is bad, don't add it to your diet :)
