A member asked:
At age 73, non diabetic, no meds, marine condition, can a quart of ice creme per day for months hurt the pancreas or start diabetes.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and yes.: Diabetes is not caused by food but food can worsen diabetes. Overweight promotes diabetes. So if you are not diabetic but eat too many calories that are going to increase your weight then you may develop diabetes if you have the genes.
