Maybe...especially if you have relatives who are diabetic-then you may have a very strong chance to become diabetic--and you may be hurrying it's arrival into your life sooner.
Diabetes doesn't make you fat--sugars-even the hidden starchy ones in Chips, Corn or Peas--these become addictions when you eat a lot of them. You know that Lay's commercial-"Bet you can't eat just one?!" Well-why do you suppose that was such a good commercial-it was true!!! Talk about "Truth in Advertising!"
Because of an insulin difficulty a person's body may not be able to process sugars--so they aren't used or passed through-that's why a diabetic often becomes FAT-and end up with clogged arteries-heart trouble-bad circulation-and have to loose their leg-or eye sight-etc. I'm of course simplifying it-but in a nutshell that's it. A diabetic who eats all that stuff-will still be starving..so they eat more chips. Literally-they may be fat-but they literally ARE starving-because their body has no fuel to keep them going..so they're always hungry. Yet--if they eat the wrong stuff-it just glues itself on-so they get fatter and stay hungry.
People always think they can make them selves diabetic-but that's actually inaccurate...you may be predisposed towards diabetes if it runs in your family-and you may hurry it--or slow it's on slot by how you eat NOW. You are wise to ask your question!! I think Diabetes isn't ever explained correctly or clear enough by physicians to us patients-it's not inevitable unless we don't pay attention--BUT If a Dr says you are Pre-Diabetic--then babe--you better start eating like a diabetic--because you are one!!!!
Break your sugar addiction-and you can slow the process down-maybe even stop it..you can still have candy occasionally--just allow yourself lots less. I'm diabetic-and I still have dark chocolate--just lots less..and I savor it longer-so it lasts a long time...don't gobble..think of the flavor--and eat right the rest of the time. To me--chocolate is a special treat-I don't have it often-so I make my choices wiser-so I'm actually quite slim and very healthy.
Diabetics are prone to infection--maybe that's were pimples come in........think about it. Everything is related!! Bad circulation from diabetes-causes trouble with your feet-being prone to infection, you may develop an infection that won't heal very fast--thus a diabetic may have to eventually have a leg amputated from eventual gangrene...
Frankly--I love all my appendages--and plan on keeping ALL of them a long time-Walking is not overrated!!
If Love was only so easy.
Good luck to you!... Make your Valentine's Candy Last!!!
Yes, and you are at risk for bad skin and acne too.
So much of it is hereditary. A local expert familiar with you personally will have to tell you your chances
Diabetes is caused by malfunctioning cells in the pancreas that should be producing insulin but don't. I don't think sugar can cause this but I know that lots of sugar can cause a nasty reaction in people who already suffer.
I'd be more worried about my teeth to be honest; brush and floss twice a day :)

the causes of diabetes are not clear. it can run in your family. your diet can reverse the signs of diabetes, so eating healthy is necessary for good health. eating a lot of sugar won't necessarily cause diabetes, but it's not good for you at all. eat fruit for snacks instead.
It certainly might increase your chances.
My husband has diabetes and the Dr. told him that eating sugar does not give you diabetes, it is inherited. You can eat all the sugar you want but if you are prone to get diabetes you can't have sugar after you get it. So eat away but watch out for those calories.
