A member asked:
Would it be possible to develop diabetes from eating too much sugar and drinking too much water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Diabetes is a condition of lack of enough Insulin or lack of response of the body to insulin. You can not cause it by eating too much sugar or drinking too much water. When you have it, you cannot eat too much sugar as your body will not be able to metabolize it.
