No, it does not. Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease; type 2 diabetes is caused by genetics and lifestyle factors. Sugar does not cause diabetes beyond it's contribution to weight gain.
Diabetes is not only common and serious; it is also a very costly disease. Much of the costs incurred long term due to complications can be avoided with proper diabetes prevention and management steps. Two out of three people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke.
That's not the case with with type 2 diabetes. In most cases, proper diet, exercise, and oral medicines, if needed, can keep type 2 diabetes under control for some time before insulin becomes necessary. The key is to make a change in lifestyle. |
