Does eating too much sugar cause you to get diabetes, considering you are still physically fit?

PLEASE NOTE: I have heard a lot of different myths, so please only answer if you have some research backing it up, if possible, site a web page or something.

Thanks.

I don't need to recommend a website. I know a lot about diabetes
because I am a type 2 diabetic , have been for nine years.
Eating sugar is not the cause of diabetes There are two types of diabetes Type 1, the pancreas fails to produce insulin Let me explain to you the role of insulin. It is a hormone used to regulate blood sugar and if you don't produce this hormone then the glucose levels in your body are going to elevate to dangerous levels. Type 1 diabetics need insulin injections daily , and along with watching their diet and monitoring their BS they can tightly control it. Now for type 2 diabetes. In type 2 the the pancreas produces enough insulin but for some reason the body has forgotten how to use it . Insulin travels through the bloodstream and is supposed to open up receptors in our cells which allow glucose in to be burned up as energy. But when the insulin isn't working properly the glucose levels elevate and you become insulin resistant there are many medications for this today. My mother was a type 1 diabetic and yes it is does have a tendency to run in families. Being fit does have its advantages when it comes to diabetes but just being fit is not all there is to it. We are talking about a disease that is no respecter of age. Life style change makes a big difference, changes in how we eat and excersise could have a lot to do with preventing it altogether.
I hope this has helped you to understand diabetes a little better It has been my pleasure answering you question.

You may have heard that drinking soda is not good for you and sorry to say, it really isn't. Sugar is the main culprit to many diseases. Sugar can suppress the immune system, can cause kidney damage, can promote elevation of bad cholesterol, disrupt your mineral balance, can increase your fasting levels of blood glucose, and more. There are alot of hidden sugars in many of the foods we eat and drinking soda extends it at greater levels. The problem with sugar is that it is very addicting and the best thing to do is to start calculating how much you are having. 24oz of Pepsi is approximately 21 TSP of sugar. Women should have no more than 6 TSP per day and men no more than 9 TSP per day. Based on what you have written, you are way over your sugar intake daily just from pepsi alone and that does not include the foods consumed. In answer to your question: drinking 1 can of soda can raise the risk of developing diabetes by 22%. A test was done for 15 years and found over 40% developed type 2 diabetes.

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.

There are 2 different types of diabetes: Type one and type two. Type one is genetic, and type two occurs when caloric inake is much more than the caloric energy you produce (being overweight/obese). Since weight problems can occur if you eat a lot of sugar due the the calories in said sugar, some problems may occur. Sugar is mainly glucose and insulin counteracts the glucose and helps your body break it down. If you're still physically fit, your insulin levels could be very high or very low, along with your blood sugar levels. This would also be a good question to ask your doctor.

No, eating too much sugar will not cause it but the weight gain can. Watch how much sugar you eat and make sure that you don't gain a lot of weight that will put you at risk. Most any of your reputable diabetes sites will tell you this.

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.

No! =) I love sugar and have a huge sweet tooth, but i'm still really fit (college athlete).... I took an exercise physiology class last semester at university of michigan and asked my professor the same exact question -- he's a doctor in the field of movement science, with a focus on cardiovascular health (including heart disease) -- and he told me know... Type 2 diabetes is only a risk if your body fat percentage is at an unhealthy range (around 30%) because that is when your cardiovascular system starts to work harder and less efficiently, so diabetes can develop

so as long as you remain health concious with the rest of your diet, and physically active, you are right on track with remaining healthy
