A member asked:
Can you get diabetes from natural sugars like fruits? is it as dangerous as refined sugars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
??: You do not "get" diabetes from eating any type of sugar. Simply put, diabetes is a triad of Insulin resistance, increased conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver, and decreased Insulin production by the pan crease. However fruits contain fructose which is treated the same as glucose by the body.
