Does eating too much sugar cause diabetes?

My husband was recently diagnosed with borderline diabetes, and the doctor told him to reduce sugar intake. He's always had a lot of मीठा. Is eating too much sugar the main reason people get diabetes?

Testing labs have got so expensive these days, so it's better to avoid health issues beforehand. Instead of spending thousands on HbA1c and lipid profiles every few months, we should just cut down on buying soft drinks and fancy bakery items. Simple home-cooked food is much more budget-friendly.

Dekho, direct bolu toh sugar is bad anyway, whether it gives you diabetes or not. Stop eating processed junk sweets daily. Have fruits if you want something sweet and get off the couch!

While excessive sugar intake is highly correlated with obesity and insulin resistance, it isn't the single direct cause of diabetes. Genetic factors play a massive role. It is always best to consult an endocrinologist for a personalized risk assessment.

My mom always keeps me away from desserts because of family history. I think the key is to make smart swaps, like using stevia or honey in desserts at home. Don't worry too much, just keep an eye on your overall junk food intake.

As someone managing diabetes for 10 years, I can tell you it's not just direct sugar. Carbs from maida, rice, and fried food also spike blood glucose. Be very careful with sweet tea and coffee, they add up slowly without us realizing.

I completely understand why you are anxious; even I used to panic after eating a single cookie thinking my sugar would shoot up. It's totally okay to feel worried, but take a deep breath. Sweets won't give you diabetes instantly if you are healthy otherwise.
