cannot say in your particular case BUT
marijuana withdrawal often has some (temporary) loss of apetite and also (less temporary... longer lasting) depression. Would not expect a HIGH sugar from not eating but rather a low sugar.
In any case, some anti-depressants stimulate appetite and of course also treat depression. Problems like feeling bad and mild/mod health problems are a strong reason to not smoke marijuana. Indeed, smoking it while having bad effects from it is pretty much the definition of addiction.
