+65 Hummingbirds must be diabetics with all the sugar water humans give them, amirite?

Nope. Hummingbirds drink nectar, which is a natural version of sugar water made by flowers. Their bodies are designed (either by a god or nature by evolution) to run on sugar because they need so much fast-burning fuel to keep humming. If an animal with a slower metabolism only had sugar water they would die from lack of vitamins before they became diabetic. Also SUGAR ALONE DOES NOT MAKE PEOPLE DIABETIC!

What makes people diabetic then?

I know, my mother is diabetic, I'm talking in general terms with how much sugar they take in to keep going

Nah. They’re hummingbirds, they metabolise differently. If we metabolised as did they, we’d run at supersonic speeds, lmao.
