(1) I didn't realize that stress induced increased blood glucose in some people. (2) The pain could be made to ome on at periodic or random intervals, or otherwise be made impossible to begin ignoring. (3) As far as I can tell, while it's not explicitly stated, pain upon overeating is the primary purpose of gastric bypass surgery (4) I've found that at least I respond to direct pain much more readily than other negative stimuli.
Upon more reflection, perhaps the right solution would involve a more immediate feedback so that the stimulus-response is very clear. For example, the sensor could be in the stomach or intestines instead of the bloodstream so that high glucose intake is immediately detected. Alternatively, perhaps something could be done to the taste receptors on the tongue to make them more sensitive to sweet things, thus making many things too sweet to consume.
