The use of the word “diabetic” refers to the sweetness and richness of her love. Real U exagerates as this is part of his fantasy by implying that her love is so high and rich in value that it makes him light headed as one suffering with diabetes.
This light headedness figuratively refers to being love stuck. Real U is thus tolerant of this as he states that he now is proud to call her his girlfriend/ lover.
