Is it possible to get diabetes by drinking too much soda?

Answer 1

No. Increased consumption of sugar does NOT put one at risk for diabetes. Now, if that sugar leads to weight gain, lack of exercise, and is coupled w/ family history of diabetes, then in a round about way, yes, it could.

But sugar in and of itself does not "cause" diabetes.

Answer 3

Not exactly. If you have diabetes and you drink a lot of soda, your body will not be able to metabolize all of the sugar in it and your symptoms will get much, much worse. But in this case, the soda is only making the existence of an existing condition more obvious.

I have diabetes, and I drink gallons of diet soda. It has not made my condition any worse. In fact, I have very good control of it.

In some people, diabetes is brought on by being overweight. If you drink so much soda that it causes you to get fat, I suppose that it could be said that the soda is at fault. But eating too much of anything, including bread and other high-carb items, would have the same affect on you.

Answer 4

Yes, because diabetes is when the cells become resistant to insulin (type 2 diabetes). Resistance does not happen until insulin overproduces, and high sugar intake causes insulin production to increase. Some experts say that it does not matter if the sweetener is sugar or sugar substitute though, because the brain senses sweet and reacts accordingly, by producing insulin to process the "sugar".

If the only think you are intaking that is high glycemic is soda, your chances are low for diabetes, but if you have a high carbohydrate intake or a moderate intake of high glycemic carbs, you are more at risk.

Is there diabetes in your blood relatives?

Answer 5

yes it is possible, diabetes is cause by excessive intake of sugar over a long period of time, soda on average has 51g of sugar in each can of soda. the daily recommended allowance is 40g a day

In type 2 diabetes insulin levels are initially normal or even elevated, but peripheral tissues lose responsiveness to insulin (known as "insulin resistance"), by the insulin receptor. Drugs like metformin may be prescribed to decrease inappropriate mobilization of glucose from liver stores.

Type 2 diabetes is a more complex problem than type 1 but is often easier to treat, since insulin is still produced, especially in the initial years; insulin levels may drop later in the course. Type 2 diabetes may go unnoticed for years in a patient before diagnosis, since the symptoms are typically milder (no ketoacidosis) and can be sporadic. However, severe complications can result from unnoticed type 2 diabetes, including renal failure and coronary artery disease.

Type 2 diabetes is usually first treated by changes in physical activity (increase), diet (decrease calories and avoid junk foods), and through weight loss. These can restore insulin sensitivity, even when the weight loss is modest, e.g., around 5 kg (10 to 15 lb). The next step, if necessary, is treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs: the sulphonylureas, metformin, or thiazolidinediones or some combination of them. If these fail, insulin therapy will be necessary to maintain normal or near normal glucose levels. A disciplined regimen of blood glucose checks is recommended in most cases, particularly when taking medication.

For both types of diabetes, there is very good evidence that maintaining normal blood glucose levels reduces the incidence of organ damage due to diabetes (eyesight, kidneys, circulation, etc.). This result has been well established and is of exceptional clinical importance. However, achieving this requires careful supervision of food intake, regular exercise and monitoring of blood glucose levels.

Answer 6

There is a recent study of the sugar in soda (fructose) that showed a link between it and diabetes in rats. And just the fact that diabetes is epidemic in the US and our addiction to soda may be an empirical link. Just drink more water and natural juice or diet soda if necessary

Answer 7

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 8

I was just told that I now have type 2 diabetes. I could drink a 12 pack of pepsi in a day. When I started my treatment I cut out the regular pepsi and started on diet drinks. Well now my diabetes medicine has been cut down because now my sugar level is good.

Answer 10

I have diabetes. Diabetes is a complicated condition. It is believed to be genetic; however, it can skip generations and even skip sibblings within the same generations. Consuption of too much sugar puts a strain on the pancreas, the organ that produces insulin. To get the proper answer to your question I would seek the advice of an Endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in disorder of the endocrine system, of which diabetes is.

Answer 11

Yes, it is possible to get Type 2 diabetes from eating/drinking foods or drinks that are high in calories. Type 2 diabetes is generally onset in adults and linked with being overweight.
