Frequent drinking can increase the chances of developing diabetes.
There are two possibilities. First, for people who already have problems with pancreatic islet function and have potential for abnormal glucose metabolism, regular consumption of sweetened beverages can accelerate the onset of diabetes. The second is that for people with normal islet function, drinking sweet drinks will not directly induce diabetes, but drinking large amounts of sweet drinks regularly will cause excessive energy intake and cause excess weight, and then excess weight is an important risk factor for the onset of diabetes. So drinking sweet drinks for a long time will increase the chances of developing diabetes.
