I’ve always wanted to know the RIGHT answer to this question, But, I’ve always gotten diffrent answers, and I don’t know whih is right! Does eating too much sugar really cause too much Diabetes? When I wnt on the Ameria Diabetes Assoiation, It said that It DOES NOT. But, when I looked on here, alot of people said that it did! Just curious, but does eating too much sugar really cause Diabetes?
Thanks.
Answer
No food, not even sugar, causes diabetes.
If sugar was the cause, it would a controlled substance like alcohol and cigarettes.
Keep in mind that the majority of people on here are not medically trained, and many are not even diabetic (as evidenced by their incorrect answers).

There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is something your body does to itself, there is no way of preventing it. Usually only young people get type 1 diabetes. What happens is your immune system starts fighting off the cells in your body that produce insulin. Eating too much sugar CAN NOT cause type 1 diabetes but it CAN have an affect on getting type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is age or lifestyle related. This is why some overweight people get type 2 diabetes. So obviously if you eat too much sugar you can get fat which can cause type 2 diabetes.
Hope this helped. (:
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmunie disease and is therefore not caused by eating too much sugar – or by any other factors like that. It is genetic thing.
However, type 2 diabetes can often be brought on by eating too much sugar and/or fatty foods and not exercising often. That is why type 2 is sometimes called “late onset diabetes” as it typically occurs in the later part of adulthood (although with the obesity epidemic, the average of onset is becoming lower and lower each year).
No. Diabetes is in no way caused by sugar – any form of it.
Type 1 is an autoimmune disease. Basically all of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas are attacked and can no longer make insulin, resulting in Type 1 Diabetes.
Type 2 can be caused by a number of things. A sedentary lifestyle, weight, and genetics can all contribute to developing type 2 diabetes, but they themselves are not direct causes of it, nor are they the only contributors.
Diabetes is probably best understood by those afflicted with the condition. Ingesting sweets as part of our regular diet does not cause diabetes. This myth was born when it was noticed that untreated diabetics tend to be attracted to sweets. Diabetes is characterized by “starvation in the midst of plenty”. Diabetics suffer a metabolic disorder in which body cells are unable to properly absorb the sugar molecules essential for life giving energy. When cells are starved of sugar, they send messages to increase production and uptake. Great quantities of sugar may build up in the blood, but very little is able to get into the cell where it is required. Insulin is a precious hormone that is manufactured in the pancreas and is essential to transport sugar out of the blood and into the cell. By definition, diabetics suffer defects in either insulin secretion or its mode of action. Left unchecked, this condition can cause deterioration of kidneys, corneas, blood vessels and nerves. This results in heart attacks, strokes, the need to undergo regular dialysis treatment, or possibly the need for transplants.
Diabetes can be categorized into one of four types. In Type I diabetes, the insulin producing beta-cells within the pancreas undergo destruction resulting in deficiency. It may be due to an acute infection. Type I is usually seen in children and requires immediate insulin.
There’s 2 types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2
type 1 means your body naturally does not produce enough insulin so you need to take insulin through injection [i think other ways are possible though] regularly. This is usually diagnosed in childhood and adolecence
type 2 is caused by bad diet and exersize. If you are overweight or obese you have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This can also be controlled by exersize and diet changes but medication is mostly needed. This is usually diagnosed in adulthood though rising obestity in children and teenagers means the average age is getting lower.
NO it doesn’t. Diabetes is caused when your body doesn’t produces enough insulin to use ur sugar as energy os that the insulin ur bidy makes does not really work at all. Either way they both have something to do with sugar since they both can’t be digested by the body.
Type 1 is genetics and type 2 is bad diet and exercise.
