I know that it can be hereditary and that it's more common for people who suffer with obesity have a higher risk of it, but if you eat a lot of sugar, are you at risk for it too? Just curious!

Absolutely not. Sugar does NOT cause diabetes. I can't believe how many people answered this incorrectly. They obviously have no idea. Although I'm overweight, I've NEVER eaten much sugar. In fact, I don't like sugar much at all. The only thing I used to have with sugar was soda and I never had alot of that. I love water. However, I never used to eat good meals. I'd literally skip breakfast and lunch, then eat a big dinner. By doing this, I had highs and lows. It's important to maintain a balanced diet with small meals and nutritious snacks. Then I got preggo and developed gestational diabetes. This tends to be common and goes away after you have the baby. However, since there's a long family history of diabetes in my family, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few years later. So once again, no, diabetes isn't just about sugar. Once you have diabetes, sugar, starches or any carbohydrate must be watched closely though.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Absolute rubbish! People who believe that eating sugar, or carbohydrates, leads to diabetes, are totally wrong.
Diabetes can be hereditary, but if your parents or grandparents have it, it doesn't necessarily mean that you, too, will get it. It indicates that you have a predisposition for developing it at some stage of your life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where your body attempts to defend itself by destroying the islet cells within the pancreas that produce insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is a result of the insulin that's produced not being able to be utilised.

NO! Sugar has nothing to do with diabetes. The two main causes of diabetes are insulin resistance (the most common cause) or autoimmune. If it's insulin resistance that means the body is unable to use insulin. Insulin is like a key that allows nutrients, including glucose (a type of sugar), to enter cells. In insulin resistance the cells do not respond to insulin and therefor glucose remains in the blood. Although it's not understood exactly what causes this, weight seems to cause more resistance, so the more weight you have the more likely you are to become diabetic. People can have insulin resistance and be thin. Autoimmune is where the body attacks itself, attacks the insulin making cells. Unlike insulin resistance, in this case there just isn't any or enough insulin to get into the cells...and again, the glucose remains in the blood. When too much glucose remains in the blood, that's diabetes.

when I found out my family had a distory of diabetes I quit eating sugar for the most part at 11 and deveoped diabetes many years after not eating sugar at all. I was careful of many kinds of sugar not just cane sugar. So the answer is NO!

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

First of all, I think a lot of these answers are just for points because so many of them are wrong.
Diabetes in caused by , for whatever reason, the pancreas does not make enough insulin for the sugar to be used by body cells.

Diabetes is a sugar problem within the body.
Sugar and carbohydrates (that turn into sugar)
are very bad for diabetics. I would surmise that 75 percent of diabetics are overweight.
It's hereditary because you generally inherit the way you eat from your parents.
Eat a higher protein, lots of veggies and hard fruits, Apples, pears and other fruit, diet. Eat a very health diet.
