Tastes like diabetes means when you have a work that is overly sappy and sugarcoated, whereas Darkness Induced Apathy refers to when you have a work that is so dark and cynical, that it tends to turn off some people. For example, one show that I never watched was Elfen Lied: while you can argue that there is a meaning to the anime series, the series is cynical due to its heavy use of violence, Lucy herself is unlikable despite being a tragic character (IMO at least), etc.
