Is sugar to blame for diabetes?

  In real life, many people believe that eating too much sugar will make urine sweet and will lead to diabetes, is this true? In fact, there is no scientific basis for this, it is only the literal meaning of diabetes for everyone. In fact, diabetes is not a disease caused by eating too much sugar, but a metabolic disease. So today we will popularize the knowledge about diabetes so that we can understand it more closely: Do you know the causes of diabetes?  The mechanism of diabetes is a series of metabolic disorders of sugar, protein, fat and water caused by the action of various pathogenic factors on the body, such as hypo-insulinism and low insulin resistance.  The exact etiology and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes are not well understood, but the cause is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is mainly due to immune-mediated selective destruction of pancreatic islet B cells.  Type 2 diabetes is now generally considered to be strongly genetic or a polygenic genetically heterogeneous disease, with environmental factors such as obesity, inactivity and aging. Its pathogenesis is mainly due to insulin resistance with impaired insulin secretion. Although type 2 diabetes is genetically heterogeneous, most patients with type 2 diabetes and fasting hyperglycemia characteristically present with insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion and hepatic glucose production. Obesity due to excessive eating and reduced physical activity is the predominant environmental factor in type 2 diabetes, predisposing individuals with genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes to develop the disease.  The causes of diabetes are complex, with both congenital genetic factors and acquired lifestyles playing an important role.  Can I get diabetes from eating sugar regularly?  First of all, in the medical concept, “sugar” refers to carbohydrates, including polysaccharides (starch), monosaccharides (glucose, fructose) and disaccharides (sucrose). And when people say sugar, they mean monosaccharide or polysaccharide. Therefore, it is not easy to equate eating too much sugar with diabetes, there is no direct correlation between them. Carbohydrates should be eaten as prescribed, not less or more, but evenly.  If we often eat white sugar, icing sugar and other monosaccharides or disaccharides, eating excessive sugar for a long time will contribute to high triglycerides, increase the intake of calories and increase the chances of obesity, which, together with other bad eating habits, will increase the chances of diabetes, and will also cause many recessive patients to rapidly turn into dominant patients. Patients who are suffering from blood sugar and do not control their sugar intake will make their condition more serious.  However, it should not be simply and crudely assumed that if you eat too much sugar, you will definitely get diabetes.  Through the above explanation, I believe we must have a new understanding of this topic, remember that eating too much sugar does not necessarily lead to diabetes, and eating less sugar does not necessarily lead to diabetes, oh, we must properly control the intake of sugar and avoid obesity.
