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 two main types of diabetes.
Your pancreas creates a hormone called insulin, and your body uses insulin to regulate the level of glucose in your bloodstream.
Type One diabetics are unable to produce their own insulin, because their own immune system destroyed the part of their pancreas that produces insulin. There’s no cure for this. Type one diabetics need to give themselves insulin every single day for the rest of their lives.
Type Two diabetics are unable to produce enough insulin to manage their glucose. They may need to take insulin, or they may need to take medicine that helps their body produce more insulin or absorb their insulin better. It has some correlations to lifestyle, especially obesity, which is why some people make jokes that eating sweets will give you diabetes.
