Diabetes and acne?

Whenever I stop eating sugar my face just clears up...
whats up with that?! Could I have diabetes?

VIOLET ! There are many misconceptions and rumors about what causes the condition:

Chocolate, french fries, potato chips and sugar, among others, have not been shown to affect acne. This means that the scientific studies done to date did not find a statistically significant difference between acne in two groups of people, one group eating the food in question and one group avoiding it. However, one recent study, based on a survey of 47,335 women, did find a positive epidemiological association between milk consumption and acne, particularly skimmed. The researchers hypothesize that the association may be caused by hormones (such as bovine IGF-I) present in cow milk; but this has not been definitively shown. Seafood, on the other hand, may contain relatively high levels of iodine, but probably not enough to cause an acne outbreak. Still, people who are prone to acne may want to avoid excessive consumption of foods high in iodine. It has also been suggested that there is a link between a diet high in refined sugars and acne. According to this hypothesis, the startling absence of acne in non-westernized societies could be explained by the low glycemic index of these tribes' diets. Further research is necessary to establish whether a reduced consumption of high-glycemic foods (such as soft drinks, sweets, white bread) can significantly alleviate acne, though consumption of high-glycemic foods should in any case be kept to a minimum, for general health reasons.

Your body tries to rid the body of any toxins through the skin. When you eat lots of sugar, your body doesn't like it and thus you get acne. Healthy, glowing skin is a reflection of overall good health. Your situation does not sound like diabetes.

examine foods high in iodine. Watch out for multi-vitamins (some contain iodine). Be aware of some junk foods such as potato chips, corn chips, etc. Keep your diet low in fat and sugar. Eating a properly balanced diet ensures that your body gets the proper nutrients and therefore promotes healthy skin.

You didn't tell the normal symptoms of diabetes, so I will say that this is not likely a case of diabetes. There are a number of other things you don't mention with your question age, diet, severity of acne, prior and present treatments etc. Because you don't mention that, we too know not what is going on.
The body puts things into the skin to dispose of them. If some of that is liked by bacteria, then you can get acne. At one point, the glands in the skin become active producing a different material and the oil may get infected and produce acne.
