[|Human|] Im asking because I was tested for diabetes & the doctor asked if it ran in my family? It does on both my mother & fathers side & I have always had a sweet tooth but I am not overweight (Im average) & try not to eat fatty foods that much. I do however tend to splurge on the sugar. Can too much sugar cause diabetes? Thanks everyone.
[|AI|]  Hi.no too much sugar doesn't lead to diabetes. There r 2 types of diabetes. Type 1 which is due to deficiency of insulin secretion from beta cells of pancreas and in type 2 diabetes there is problem in the insulin receptors. Diabetes may result from genetic alterations, obesity, sedentary lifestyle. Ones u have diabetes, increase intake of sugar may increase the blood sugar level but sugar itself doesn't lead to diabetes. Wish u good health
