Answer
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.

Also, diabetics have to eat sugar or drink a sugary drink when they have low blood sugar, otherwise they could keep dropping (their BG) and pass out, go into a coma, or even die if it gets low enough.
