Question

Can eating lots of sugar over a long time make you develop diabetes?

Answer 1

DEAR SOMETIME YES BUT SOMETIME NO IT IS FAMILY HISTORY ON BOTH SIDES AND YOU ARE BORN WITH IT

Answer 2

Yes. You can overwork your pancreas and cause it to basically poop out, in which case it won't produce enough insulin. Also, eating too much sugar can make you overweight, and the excess fat on your blood cells can prevent the insulin from getting into them (this is why overweight people are at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and why losing weight can eliminate the need for diabetes meds when you already have type 2 diabetes).

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Yes, it can. Too much sugar on a constant, daily basis can eventually wear out your pancreas, so that it doesn't produce enough insulin any longer. Or your cells will become resistant to insulin, and not open their "doors" to let it in.

It is the pancreas' inability to produce sufficient insulin, and the cells resistance that actually causes Adult Onset Diabetes.

Now, Type 1, the childhood diabetes is different. It is hereditary. That's when your body doesn't produce enough insulin, and you have to take injections of it. It can skip generations.

I have a couple of cousins who developed Type 1 when they were kids, and we figured it had to have come down on their mother's side of the family, even though she didn't have it, because we didn't have any history of it on our side.

An overabundance of sugar is not the ONLY cause of the current epidemic of diabetes, but it is a very significant contributing factor. The other main contributing factors include being overweight, lack of exercise, but also a diet high in fats and simple carbohydrates, such as pastas and breads.

The human body was not designed to handle all the sugar we all feed ourselves with, nowadays.

Sugar, itself, is not so bad. It's HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP you need to eliminate completely from your diet. And PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS. Those 2 things are contributing tremendously to everyone's weight problems.

And they're hard to avoid, because manufacturer's put them in EVERYTHING.

If you are concerned with developing Type 2 diabetes, and especially if you've got it somewhere in your family, then you need to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to AVOID getting it.

I have it. My mother died from it. You DON'T want to get it. It is an absolutely TERRIBLE disease.

Answer 5

No eating a lot of sugar does not cause diabetes. Diabetes is caused from the body not using insulin properly. Eating a lot of sugar as well as starchy foods beans, potatoes, pasta, corn, peas, and rice causes the glucose (sugar levels) in your blood to go up and requires more insulin. If your body doesn't use the insulin it produces or doesn't produce enough insulin to take care of the glucose then you develop diabetes. Being overweight is a factor in developing type 2 (adult onset) diabetes.

Answer 6

You could go into a diabetic shock of sorts. alot of it depends on how much sugar she eats. it's not bad for her to eat some sugar but obsessive amounts could cause her to (worst case) go into a diabetic coma or some other fatal consequenses. one thing you might do is make different cookies, cakes, and things with a type of splenda sugar and brown sugar they make that tastes pretty much like the real thing. sugar substitutes give you the flavor with out the consequences. sugar free jello and pudding always make good snacks. whole grain and wheatr breads... just introduce her to new things... don't talk about it as a you have to change your diet type of thing, talk to her as a these are good, you've got to try this, they taste really good type of thing... she might have not had an effect yet but long term it's not good....

Answer 7

Yes. My uncle developed Type 2 Diabetes that way.

Answer 8

Actually, sugar does not affect diabetes until you actually have diabetes. High calories, being largely overweight, and being inactive cause diabetes. Sugar contributes to two of those but does not directly contribute to diabetes.

Answer 9

It could but it also has a lot to do with if diabetes runs in your family. Diabetes skips generations.

Answer 10

Only if it is a heredatary condition (it run in your family) this normally only occurs to other(for who it doesen´t run in the family) people who really abuse the sweets but it´s never the same kind of diabetes (the kind where you see people injecting insulin into themselves) this is seldom nessasary in these cases but if u do deveop diabetes then u must watch your blood pressure sugar in your blood and do alot of excersise to minimize risk of even more serious deseases or conditions.

Answer 11

I've heard Rn's say no, and Md's say yes.
It is my personal opinion and educated guess that YES an abundance of sugar over time will cause your pancreas to go out of whack eventually, and lead to diabetes.
