Not so simple : Lifestyle, genetics, weight, etc. Also factor in. If you think you're at risk for diabetes please discuss with your doctor.

No: The diabetes is not about sweets it is about carbohydrates, and if you have a diet with low, balanced carbs, exercise and keep you weight down than you have a good chance to avoid diabetes.
