--- Does sugar cause diabetes?
"Stubby" news:Ir2dnTuSzpUENJLeRVn-pA@comcast.com... | I'm concerned about a 6 year old grandson. His mother placates him | with apple juice, lemonade, French toast smothered by 1/4" of syrup, | candy, candy, candy all day long. The kid is off the wall and demands | sugar and sweet stuff instead of eating his dinner. | | I'm concerned that this will lead to diabetes in midlife. He'll use up | his pancreatic beta cells, resulting in T1. Can anyone point me to | credible research about this? Well there isn't credible research because "eating sweets" doesn't give one diabetes... not Type 2 and most definately not Type 1. While the mother is shoving empty calories in the kid and ruining his teeth at best... if the child gets enough exercise he can continue to eat all that without gaining weight. If he don't move his body then he'll slowly become overweight and his risk of Type 2 increases. As for Type 1, that is an auto-immune disease, it isn't anyones fault, it just comes on, most often very quickly and the symptoms are pretty nasty to deal with. The patient most likely will eat like an utter pig and drop weight rapidly (ie; 50lbs in a few months) --- You need a trigger to make our bodies attack ourselves giving into the production of Type 1. Google, "T1 and T2 diabetes differences" to learn more --- they aren't the same disease by far really. RK, t1

T2 is when you produce insulin but it is ineffective at lowering blood glucose. T1 is when you don't produce insulin at all. This could be a result of an autoimmune condition or it could be another theory I've heard that says you can "wear out" your pancreatic beta cells such that they don't produce insulin anymore. I'm concerned about the kid causing the latter. I was hoping someone could point me to a credible reference on the latter -- Google produces too much questionable info!

There is NO theory on just burning out your pancreas for T1's. That is more of a T2, who refuses to get treatment... remains overweight, doesn't eat right. Over years their pancreas taxes out. That certainly doesn't make them a T1 by ANY means... A T1 means Diabetes brought on by an auto- immune response. Basically, eating sweets isn't going to make anyone a diabetic. Hell the night before i was diagnosed, I had a full funnel cake and cotton candy, I had no clue, it just came on. Keeping ones self fit with proper diet and exercise is the best defense. ---- RK, T1/pumper/Animas IR1250

I don't want to come across as an expert because I'm not. However, a disease is defined by the effects on the body that can be measured. If your pancrease is not producing insulin, you have T1 diabetes. It doesn't matter what caused that condition, but it is T1 that must be treated. > Basically, eating sweets isn't going to make anyone a diabetic. Well, THAT is the question. Can sweets use up your supply of insulin or the pancreas's ability to produce it? So far no credible medical references have been posted.
