Can drinking Gatorade during workout make you diabetic?

Haythen

Is it ok to drink a bottle of Gatorade every workout on empty stomach ?

ana3067

it's fine.

Gatorade, in and of itself will not "make you diabetic". A lot more to it than that. Do you have reason to think you may be developing diabetes?

Your title and your post ask to entirely different questions.

To answer your title question: No. That's pretty much ridiculous. As stated above there is much more to developing diabetes than drinking Gatorade during a workout.

To answer your post question: It's perfectly fine.

About the only thing Gatorade is good for is making you want more Gatorade. Not the beetus.

I'm just worried about the insulin spike you'd get from drinking Gatorade on empty stomach. I know diabetes has to do with unstable blood sugar levels

You don't know what you think you know

Diabetes has to do with your pancreas not producing any or enough insulin. Insulin helps your body use and store the sugar you intake. Unless you have a genetic predisposition to diabetes, or are quite overweight (which is a risk factor for developing diabetes), then you likely have nothing to worry about.

Just had to see if this was serious.

Might want to do some concise research then rather than guess what causes diabetes.

I'd worry more about overdosing on electrolytes but that's more for people who drink it daily or in mass quantities.

A quick google search brought up this:

I once had a Dr explain to me simply that you typically pee out any vitamins and minerals that your body doesn't need but electrolytes (and some other things) can build up and actually make you feel sick and tired because you can't pass them out as fast as you take them in. You should match the Gatorade with at least equal amounts of water and not drink it at all on a couple days during the week.

Yeeeeeah...I wouldn't let worrying about "overdosing" on electrolytes keep me awake at night either
