Well not directly.Diabetes occurs due to lack or complete absence of insulin(a hormone that helps blood sugar get into cells) Type 1 diabetes means the body's failure to produce insulin, it caused by genetic; type 2 diabetes is a condition in which cells fails to use insulin and it caused by genetic and lifestyle factors.

However being overweight does increase you risk for developing, a diet high in calories, whether from sugar or from fat, can contribute to weight gain. If you have a history of diabetes in your family, eating a healthy meal plan and regular exercise are recommended to manage your body weight.
