Just confused.. Is one person prone to diabetes just because they eat Sweets? Would it be genetic? At what age should one start testing for the same? I’m very confused because I love to eat Ice Creams but every post I see on social media regarding sweets, Everyone keeps commenting Welcome Diabetes. I’m 20M for reference.

There are cells in your pancreas that produce insulin, a hormone that helps your body regulate how much sugar your cells take in. Not being able to produce enough insulin is what causes diabetes.
Some people have a genetic disorder where these cells don’t function properly. This is type 1 diabetes.
These cells can also begin to have problems due to factors like obesity and this causes diabetes later in life. This is type 2 diabetes.
Basically, eating like total garbage and not exercising can lead to type 2 diabetes.
