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

Type 1 here, there are 2 major types of diabetes and other sub genres. The type I have is an autoimmune disorder, it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Nobody is sure what causes it, or a cure for it. Type 1 is the kind where you see people injecting insulin. T cells mistake Beta cells as being invaders to the body and destroy them, meaning you can’t process sugar, so it just builds up. There are really long winded ways of describing the disease, but I’m trying to keep it simple…Type 2 I’m not so sure on, I know if it becomes really bad you can have to rely on insulin to correct it, but generally requires pills to keep blood glucose in check, despite their names, the trigger for both diseases are not related. Your pancreas, Beta cells and natural insulin ensure your blood glucose is always kept in check, if you are healthy, you cannot override this system no matter how much sugar you eat in just one sitting.
