people can't control their blood sugar level with their mind, if you want me to explain then I'll have to talk about homeostasis and the negative feedback system our bodies have. When our blood glucose (sugar) level is too high our pancreas will secrete more insulin than glucagon to stimulate our liver to convert glucose into glycogen which will eventually combine with fatty acids to become fat and insulin will also stimulate our body cells to use up more glucose.

so actually sugar don't disappear, they turn into glycogen by insulin or are being used to carry out respiration in our body cells.

If you're talking about the abnormal blood sugar levels among diabetic patients, there are several cases insufficient insulin secretion liver unable to convert glucose into glycogen over secretion of glucagon (which makes the liver convert glycogen back to glucose when the blood sugar level is too low)

and anyways, if you are talking about the ability to control blood glucose level, non-diabetics control blood sugar level better

it is true that some people have "better" gene sequences than others, but at the end of the day, they are just a little bit better or weaker in their physical state. like Einstein who is A LOT smarter than others because of his genes. Though i won't consider him to have the superpower of enhanced intelligence.
