Did diabetes happen by eating too much sugar?

Sugar a Huge Driver: Dominant evidence is that ↑ed sugar intake, all forms, is a huge driver for type ii dm; also ↑ing evidence that ↑ed sugar intake ↑es the incidence of type i. In both cases, sugar intake compounds the disease, after all dm is defined as ↑ed sugar concentrations. Humans can live just fine with zero sugar intake, all needed sugar coming from gluconeogenesis, primarily in the liver. Study dietdoctor.
