MANY!!! For one, Diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar. Two, diabetics CAN eat sugar, carbohydrates (complex sugars) are needed for energy and for correct function of the brain. Three, there are several types of diabetes, type 1, 2, and gestational diabetes, when someone says "diabetes" they usually refer to just type 2, no one ever keeps the other two in mind, but that's because type 2 is the most prevalent form in the United States.

There are more but those three are the most prevalent.
