Does eating too much sugar cause diabetes?

Scientific evidence indicates that diets high in sugars do not cause diabetes. The most common type of diabetes occurs in overweight adults. Avoiding sugars alone will not correct overweight. To lose weight, reduce the total amount of calories from the food you eat and increase your level of physical activity.
