Why isn’t it possible to suddenly get diabetes after a single large sugar binge?

Soo, nurse here.
We all know about Diabetes I and Diabetes II.
First one is when cells for insulin production inside of pancreas lose function, as in auto-immune or just maybe pancreatitis or maybe even born with an insufficent insulin production.
Type II on the other hand happens, when cells in your body get resistant to insulin, because the insulin reaction, which is necessary for getting glucose into your cells, happend so often, that the cell needs a “bigger trigger” in order for the reaction to happen.
So, no you wont get Diabetes by binging once, but binging over months/years will make your cells resistant to insulin and your glucose value rises.
