Does eating too much sugar cause you to get diabetes? |
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. Yes it does, sorry I don't know any web sites, but I'm possitive that you can get diabetes if you eat to much sugar. No, eating sugar does not give you diabetes. Diabetes is a disease caused by inadequate production, or complete lack, of the hormone insulin. Although sugar does not cause diabetes, excessive calories does. Excess caloric intake usually results in overweight and obesity - which is the main risk factor for diabetes. http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/faq/basics.h... Yes, it is possible too much sugar can cause dibetes. It some how destroys the insulin in your body. that's why you have to take insulin shots when you get it. But i think that diseases like that are also hereditery.if you have someone in your family that has this i wouldn't eat too much sugar. why chance it? I used to work at a hospital. Yes to much sugar can give you diabetes. You would have to eat a lot of sugar. These are your choices: Eat to much sugar and get diabetes and never have sugar again(except the one from fruit) !!! Or you can have a reasonable amount of sugar a week and have the ability to eat sugar little by little. This is your choice! My grandma has diabetes and due to it she has to take 3+ shots EVERY DAY. |
