Can i get diabetes from eating lots of sugar?

Answer 1

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO...you can NOT get diabetes from eating too much sugar!!!! Sugar has NOTHING to do with diabetes. There are several types of diabetes but the most common are type 1, which is an autoimmune disease where your own immune system attacks the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to get into the cells. If there's no insulin or not enough insulin glucose can't get into cells so it remains in the blood stream, which means there's excess glucose, or sugar, in the blood. In type 2 there's plenty of insulin, at least in the beginning, but for reasons not understood at this time, the cells are resistant to insulin so glucose builds up in the blood. ALL carbohydrates (except for fiber) are converted to glucose, and some protein and fat are also converted to glucose. You need a genetic tendency to get diabetes. There are many American Indian tribes that have high percentages of diabetes. Food probably does have a role in diabetes, but it's not SUGAR!!! People for hundreds of years ate certain diets depending on where they lived and their bodies evolved to best utilize the foods available. They also lived harder lives, where food was scarce and their bodies evolved to remember those times, so became efficient at storing fat to survive in times of famine. The production of food...refined foods, with lots of preservatives and altered fats has boomed as we entered the industrial age. Human bodies have not been able to evolve as fast as our food has. Not to mention that some of the things added to our foods are completely foreign to our bodies and most likely do more harm than we know. We do need to watch the food we put in our mouth, but I'd worry more about what's wrapped around sugar than the sugar itself.

The simple answer is no.

The more complicated answer is, that it can be a factor.

Eating a lot of a sugar alone will not cause diabetes, but over consumption of sugar does nothing for ones weight levels. By putting on weight, you are increasing your chances of diabetes - type 2, heart disease, and other serious conditons.


When I was about 11years old, I had a best friend at school called Danielle. She told me that her dr told her that I had diabetes because I'd eaten too many sweets. I basically told her that she was talking crap and explained to her that no-one really knows the cause of diabetes.

Answer 5

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 7

Not all at once, but over time, a larger intake of refined sugar contributes to adult onset diabetes, especially if you have a family history. Think about it, 100 years ago, people ate about 1 or 2 pounds of sugar a year and there was virtually no such thing as adult onset diabetes. Now, we eat 5 or 10 times that and the disease has skyrocketed.

Answer 8

there is more to the disease of diabetes than sugar consumption. There is a huge genetic component, and many other precipitating factors. Did you know that everything you eat eventually is broken down into simply sugars? The problem with eating lots of refined sugar is that it is used quickly by the body, so when the rest of the food you have eaten is finally broken down into sugars, your cells cannot use it so your blood sugar levels go up, over time this becomes chronic and can lead to type 2 diabetes. This is of course a very simplified explanation, many volumes of books have been written on this disease.

Answer 9

No you cant. Diabetes is due to the deficiency of hormone Insulin that regulates blood sugar levels. It has nothing to do with the amount of sugar you consume.
However, if you are obese because of consumption of high calorie food, then you can become diabetic as fat utilises most of insulin and there is no insulin available in the body for other tissues. Your body may need larger than normal insulin to control blood sugar. This is called insulin resistance and is common in obese diabetics.

Answer 10

No you can't get diabetes from eating a lot of sugar.
