Reason For Tiredness When Taking Sugar?

I am a 53 yr. old female. I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic type 2. I am approx. 45 pounds overweight. I quit smoking Jan. first of 2014 and I have been exercising at a gym 5 days a week since january (30-45 min hard cardio and 30 min weights). I have greatly decreased refined sugar in my diet and no soda or artificial sweetners at all. My questions are 1) why do I feel so tired/drained when I do indulge in sugar (i.e. piece of birthday cake)? and 2) Is this making it difficult for me to lose weight?
