Ray asked:


I know that carbohydrate will be converted to glycogen (sugar) and stored in body. For this reason, if I eat a lot of carbohydrate, ie. the food groups at the base of Pyramid Food Guide, will I possibly increase sugar for myself? ANd consequently, will I have diabetes because of high-carb diet?
: I eat a lot of high-sugar fruits too though, eg, grapes, tangerine, pears, apple. My diet is low around 1,200-1,500 calorie and my eating habit is irregular.

And if I exercise regularly, will my sugar decrease due to burning of energy for use during exercise?

Spongebob’s My IDOL! asked:


I have never been to sure because some say it’s a myth while others say it’s true. And I want proof because there is no way I’m believing you if you don’t supply me with proof. A website, a video, any link that will prove to me that diabetes can or cannot cause diabetes. Please tell the truth because i eat A LOT of sugar. I want to know how that can hurt me. Thanks.

I read somewhere how the cause of weight loss in diabetes was that sugar spilt into the urine and it caused weight loss. I dont really understand it though and dont know what to search google for lol. Could you please explain it to me?

TopQuark asked:


Some fruits are higher than others on the glycemic index. Is it possible that fruit eaten in any quantity could become a cause of diabetes? I had always thought that the enemy was sucrose, not fructose consumed in raw, fresh fruit.

Have read that overweight can be a contributing factor. If one remains consistently slighly under-weight can such an individual develop diabetes?

If the reader happens to be an expert in the matter, why not list for me up-to-date guidelines for the avoidance of this problem?

I have been drinking cranberry juice everyday for a month or so now because I am prone to get bladder/kidney infections. My friend, who has the same problem, says that her doctor told her that cranberry juice in excessive amounts can cause diabetes. Is this true?

Mama2Be 12-30 asked:


This question wasn’t answered well…it was asked about bulimia possibly causing diabetes. What I would like to know is, if you don’t already have diabetes, can having an eating disorder lead you to having diabetes 1 or 2?
