I've taken Aricept, and my blood sugar was fine. If there is a problem with blood sugar, it's highly unlikely to do much more than compound an existing issue someone already has that would have likely given way if they ate one more Twinkie anyhow.
I wouldn't exactly use this as a reason not to take Aricept in a healthy individual. Aricept is a safe drug, and has millions of patient years behind it. Keep in mind it's also a drug often used with like two dozen other medications, so it's often difficult to screen out whether it's Aricept or something else. It's also used in highly sick, aging populations, with people who already have things going on and would get sick anyhow.
