A member asked:
Can you get diabetes from a two week sugar binge? and how many grams of sugar consumed over a two week period could cause diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sugar: Diabetes is not related to your intake of sugar; actually sugar has few calories, but they are empty calories without nutrition. Adult (or type 2) diabetes is more common as you get older, if you have a family history of diabetes -- and is 70-90% related to weight. As you gain weight you become more resistant to Insulin until your pancreas is overwhelmed. It's the only risk factor you can control.
