Foxy Lady: You don't become diabetic from eating too much sugar,the key there is your pancreas and whether your producing insulin.

You're production of insuline can be fine, but if your body isn't absorbing insuline appropriately, you're still suffering from diabetis. Eating too much sugar isn't the sole cause of diabetis. But being overweight can contribute in getting diabetis. And eating too much sugar can cause overweight. So, indirectly, eating too much sugar increases your chances of getting diabetis. And so does eating too much fat and not exercising enough (physical exercise triggers the body to consume glucose from the blood).
