A member asked:
Just because you crave sweets does that mean you could be a diabetic ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sugar (along with fat and salt) are addictive because they taste good. Sugar intake never causes diabetes. However, people who eat items high in sugar are often overweight, which will predispose you to the development of diabetes as you age.
