I have only been a vistor of the diabetes section now for a few months!.!.!.!.
I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME QUESTION OVER 100 FREAKING TIMES!.!.!.!.!.
The answer is NO!.!.!.!. to both types of diabetes!. Sugar does not cause it, never has and never will!. Sugar can make it worse but not cause it! Anyone that tells you that yes it does, has not been to a diabetic education class, or visited the ADA (american diabetes association) website!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe not as the only cause, but it can be a defininte contributing factor!!!

Type 1 Diabetes is a purely genetic condition, so consuming sugar won't CAUSE it, although it will cause problems based on the condition!.

Type 2 Diabetes is partly genetic, partly environmental- the environmental factor is where the eating of sugar comes in!. When you eat things that are processed (digested) by your body, they enter the bloodstream as sugar!.!.!. and the faster your food does this, the worse it is for your body!.

The sugar rush (and subsequent crash) is hard on your pancreas!. it tries to maintain a steady balance, and the sugar spike/crash cycles that sugar and highly processed carbs cause can cause the pancreas to simply shut down!.!.!. and there you have it-- type 2 diabetes!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's simple!. Too much sugar can cause weight gain!. Being overweight puts a person at greater risk for developing type TWO diabetes!.

If you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, are overweight and physically inactive, or have had gestational diabetes, you are even more at risk!.

Type 1 diabetes is usually inherited or just really bad luck!. Type 2 diabetes is often from lifestyle factors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, diabetes type 1 you get at no fault of your own, this usually appears when your younger in life!. Diabetes type II comes for multiple reasons but some of the most popular reasons are from being overweight such as eating too much sugar!. When you eat too much sugar your body has to produce enough insulin to counteract this, after a while your body will tire of making so much insulin and it starts to wear down!. There's much more to the disease than this but hopefully this helps!. If there is a lot of diabetes that runs in your family than a healthy diet and exercise is a great way to prevent it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For many years, people with diabetes were told to avoid sugar at all costs!. It was thought that sugar would pass into the bloodstream faster and easier and would cause blood glucose levels to rise too quickly!. More recent research has shown that all carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels the same way!. A potato and a brownie, if they have the same number of carbohydrates, have about the same affect on blood glucose levels!.

In terms of blood glucose control, all that matters is the number of carbohydrates in a food item!. However, many sugary foods have a very high concentration of carbohydrates in a relatively small portion size!. Look at the example of a potato versus the brownie!. Because a brownie contains a lot of sugar, it doesn't take a very big piece to equal the same number of carbohydrates as a fairly large potato!. Your child could eat a larger portion and thus feel less hungry if she chose the large potato over the small brownie!. She would also gain the nutrients from the potato and avoid the fats in the brownie!.

One option for allowing your child to enjoy more sweet foods is the use of sugar substitutes!. Calorie-free sugar substitutes do not contain carbohydrates, so she can eat them without raising her blood glucose!. However, some sugar substitutes do contain calories and carbohydrates!. When choosing products with sugar substitutes, read the label!. Even products labeled "sugar-free" can contain fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, which can affect blood glucose levels!. Also, keep in mind that "fat-free" and "low-fat" products sometimes have a higher sugar content or special carbohydrates used as bulking agents!. Always check the labels of products before you buy!.

There is no reason, however, for your child to avoid all sugary foods!. In the context of a healthy diet, an occasional candy bar or bowl of ice cream should cause no problems for her diabetes control!. You do need to plan for the inclusion of sweets in her diet to ensure that she has enough insulin in her system to handle the carbohydrates in the sweets!. You can work together with a dietitian to fit such treats into the insulin and eating schedule!.

You may run into people who still think that people with diabetes can't eat sugar!. There is also a myth that a person can "bring on" diabetes by eating too much sugar!. This is not true!. If your child is told this by acquaintances or relatives that mean well, reassure her that nothing she ate caused her diabetes!. As much as you can, try to dispel such myths among people who have frequent contact with your child!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You get Type one or juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, because you inherit it

Type two (formerly called non-insulin-dependent diabetes) is caused by your eating habits!.
