Thanks a ton for the discussion. Well i think the primary reason of diabetes could be excessive intake of sugary foods or foods with more sugar contents. It is because of this that the diabetes patients are always advised to stay away from sugar. It can be hereditary at times but is mostly due to the sugar.
What say?

I agree. Diabetes is the inability to make insulin out of the sugar you put in your body. People who eat too much sugar get Type-2 diabetes. (Oh, some of them have 'a propensity to get diabetes'; but still.)
Another myLotter tells me that the best way to avoid getting diabetes is to eat like you already have it.

I agree. I do have to add one more thing though, while it is of course due to high sugar intake, it can also be caused by a sort of nutrition imbalance. Meaning, if you are eating (to put it bluntly) a bunch of junk, and not balancing your unhealthy eating habits with some healthy ones like pizza with a salad, or at the very least say after you've eated a candy bar also eat some chips (1 salt for 1 sugar). Your body basically thinks everything you eat is sugar even lettice, this is why diabetics need special diets, once you develop it, it's challenging to fix it.

diabetes may be hereditary or fr lifestyle of a person. if one of the parents of ur friend has diabetes, he has 50% chance to be diabetic as well

It's partly hereditary, but mostly it happens when you eat too much sugar. That's all I know.

Hi!
Welcome to mylot. As far as i know diabetes is a hereditary disease, and also it can be caused due to high sugar level in our blood.

Diabetis is the effect of the abnormality of one's body to produce insulin to normalize the sugar content of the diabetic's blood and body. It can be hereditary or thru lifestyle. For some instances, there are people who suffered diabetis even they family don't have history for that illness, more often it is because of the too much intake of foods with high-sugar content and then the body can't function well. And there are people who have history of diabetis but didn't suffer diabetis because of the healthy exercises and foods he/she takes and avoids some food that will trigger the diabetis.

Primary cause would be excessive intake of foods with high sugar content.
We may not know it, but almost everything we consume everyday has lots of sugar. Stay away from colas, candies, milk chocolates (dark chocolates are better because they have more cocoa than sugar), desserts, sweets, ice creams, cakes etc etc.
Also, stay away from too much carbohydrates. When we consume starchy and carbohydrate foods, it converts to sugar when there is an excessive intake of them.
Since you said that nobody in their house have it, how about distant relatives? If they don't have it, it was probably the things he/she eat.

Its mainly depend on lifestyle you live and the kind of food you have.
