Best Answer

There are two types of Diabetes, and neither one is caused directly by sugar.

For type 1 diabetics, the cause is unknown, but sugar is not the cause. Research is continually being done to find the cause and cure.

For type two diabetics, the lack of physical exercise and obesity are the most common causes.
