Can eating a lot of things with sugar or things that turn to sugar cause Diabetes?

No. Diabetes is not caused by sugar. The cause of Type 1 diabetes is unknown. Type 2 is usually caused by being overweight or having an exhausted pancreas.

In diabetes glucose level in your body cannot be controlled, which could lead to excessive amounts of sugar. And that is dangerous. The enzymes that help control the glucose level are destroyed. \nSo doctors prescribe a lifetime medicine as its not yet curable. Only proper diet can help u get rid of the medications.

Yes. Even if you are at a high risk for diabetes (due to your genetics), you can lower your chances by eating healthy, exercising regularly, and monitoring your lab work (cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, etc.). Work with your doctor / healthcare team to come up with a prevention plan. \n\nBe aware though that diabetes is a highly heriditary condition. While these things can / will lower your risks for development of the disease, you may still get diabetes. None of these are guranteed to stop the onset of diabetes. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

It depends on how your body reacts to the introduction of glucose to your body.  If your insulin levels are excessively high, it may use up the glucose more quickly than a person with a normal level of insulin; this would, in essence drop your glucose to lower than the fasting level. This can be an early indicator of diabetic risk.

rule of thumb, aviod sweet food and check ur sugar regularly. eat plenty of green vegetables, avoid taking much carbohydrate (bread, rice, cereals, etc), eat it moderation (but dont starve), and exercise regularly. hope it helps, but hey dont forget to seek expert help, preferably from a doc/ diabetic nurse/ dietician. the american diabetic association has a resourceful website too. http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp

When someone has diabetes the excess glucose binds to different substances in the blood including proteins when this happens some of these proteins become toxic and damage the blood vessels preventing an adequate blood flow to the tissues\ntissues need the oxygen  and nutrients in the blood to heal but since there is so little blood getting to them they cannot work as fast as they should.

yes it is possible. diabetes is when the body cannot regulate blood glucose level automatically.diabetes is hereditary although they do have a chance of not getting it. it would be a good thing to talk to your doctor and see what age you should get them tested at. people that continuously drink and drink more than normal is a sign that they may have diabetes. search through the link i have given you to find out more.

Splenda won't raise your blood glucose levels in the same way that sugar will, but some say its sweet flavor will trigger physiological reactions that will cause your body to produce insulin in preparation for an expected raise in blood sugars.  I've found that its best to avoid going overboard with the sugar substitutes when doing the low carb diets.  It works better when you make an actual lifestyle change and accustom your body to eating foods that are healthy.

There is a possibility of having high blood sugar content periodically without being diabetic... however, it is a tricky tricky thing to deal with.  \n\nIf you have a high sugar count, keep testing.  Check for other signs and symptoms of diabetes.  Visit your doctor regularly.  It's very understandable that nobody wants to have diabetes.... but it is better to know than leave it untreated.\n\nI would recommend visiting some sites with diabetes symptoms for monitoring purposes.. although please don't just stick with that.  Ensure you visit a doctor.. often if need be..  \n\nI have a *strong* family history of diabetes with effects ranging from organ failure to amputation.  Sometimes, simply taking one pill, or a few other minor inconveniences can prevent these horrible effects..  \n\nJust be careful..  people care about you, and want to ensure that you will be safe.   *hugs*

Whole wheat bread is good, check the label, you are looking for high fiber and low sugar. There are many names for sugar in labels: sucrose, fructose, dextrose, glucose,maltose,lactose. Diabetics need to stay away from those. A normal healthy person should not consume more than 40 grams per day.\nHere is a website how to manage diabetes...\nhttp://www.joslin.org/managing_your_diabetes_707.asp

Anyone can get Diabetes.  People who have a family history of diabetes just have a higher risk of also developing the disease later in life than someone without family history.  Also, having a healthy diet in early life decreases chance of getting the disease.  My father is a diabetic and recently developed DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis) which is very serious (usually results in coma or death), and can happen just by a Diabetic getting a cold.  I believe it is very important to read on DKA and on being a healthy diabetic.  It is a very serious disease and some people do not notice until it is serious or too late.

Yes, but environment also plays a large role.  If you suspect you are pre-diabetic, there are foods you can eat and a lifestyle you can live that will make less likely you will "flip" to becoming a diabetic.\n\nFor some basic info on hypoglycemia - a pre-diabetic condition, check out www.hufa.org.  The main pre-diabetic condition is high insulin production (hyperinsulinemia).  You can search the www.mayoclinic.com website for some good info on that condition.

as drsuria said, + many other sugars depend on what u eat, like for example grapes have a kind of sugar called arabinose which will increase significally in your urine if u ate them.

High blood-sugar over time can lead to complications, like neuropathy, blindness, kidney failure, and death, so it is important to control blood-sugar to prevent this from happening. Temperature has very little to do with diabetes, except that fever sometimes indicates an infection, which would be more dangerous for diabetics than everyone else.
