Does Sugar Cause Diabetes?

If you have diabetes, you have way too much sugar in your bloodstream. So does eating a lot of sugar cause it?

People generally forget about Type 1. It was really hard to explain to people why I'm diabetic at 11.

[Candesce]

Haha... I was not expecting the last clip.

[DictumMeumPactum]

One the best presentations on YouTube: eloquently concise and with exceptional clarity. The illustrations are designed to be permanently etched in the memory.

[Balin_James]

You just HAD to hit us with the “diabetus” clip didn’t you 😂

[LadyMacbeth]

For anyone wanting to know more Dr Robert Lustig has videos which explain in detail how glucose and fructose are processed differently by your body and explain why fructose is harder on your body than glucose. (You mention the studies that show this.)

I wish I watched your video 20 years ago, I wasn’t able to understand the relationship between sugar and diabetes. Unfortunately 20 years ago YouTube was not invented yet and this lady was still a baby 😀

[ronytakchi]

This was so clearly explained, and visualizing insulin resistance with the diagram was really helpful - Very well done! Looking forward to your upcoming videos.

[rrknl]

Very informative, I learned a lot from it.

Guess I need to get tested, I have a lot of the symptoms described

Me trying to cut off sugar.

Her: *stuffing a donut*

[EjSavage]

I left a like and I’m commenting because it was concise and not filled with a bunch of bull crap to get to the 10 minute threshold so many YouTubers aim for because of the algorithm! Great video!

So the reason why fructose causes more visceral fat gains than glucose does is because it causes more hepatic de novo lipogenesis right? Are there other factors at play which influence whether de novo lipogenesis will happen in the liver or in adipocytes? If so, could they be used to reduce visceral gains from sugar consumption?

Hello! May I know your name? This is the first (well technically 2nd) video of yours that I am watching and Wow! Your explanation really is pretty concise and appealing. The 1st (technically first) video that I watched of yours is about carbon sequestration. I would say that you have gained another subscriber (and lemme tell you this: once I subscribe to any channel, I never unsubscribe any time later). My father has type-2 diabetes and he's been complaining about exactly the same things you have explained in this video. A really very informative video.

I have been a Diabetic Type 1 on Insulin for over fifty years.
I was told that Diabetes Type 1
can be caused by three things.
1.Over weight(eating to much food).
2.Hedritary.
3.Stress.
In my case I was Over weight.

A suggestion.
For diabetic people, what counts is not limiting sugar, but total food quantities. Whatever a diabetic person eat, it will end as sugar in the blood. Maybe not after few hours, but later that steak will raise the blood sugar.
Diabetes tablets will work for a while, but for many kinds of the illness, after a number of years the pancreas will be overwhelmed, and the person will need insulin. A special kind of hell on Earth. Insulin will not work well if the person eats more than necessary and is overweight.
Also, some of the tablets (pills in US) for diabetes (like the Metformin) have long-term side-effects, namely calcium deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency; not all doctors do address them correctly.
It is possible to identify a predisposition for diabetes early (like the gestational diabetes mentioned in the video); in that case, reduce your weight and eat small for ...ever.
Remember that diets are pure theatre and a self-hypocrisy. To reduce weight, you eat whatever you like in a balanced manner; the key is amount, as you will have to leave the dinner table extremely hungry. The effort of a diet is in learning to manage being hungry after finishing eating.
People telling they are eating specific food specifically cooked at specific times aren't on a diet; they are, very likely, just fooling themselves. Others do stuck to their written diet, but eat between meals. Same as above. Losing weight is very difficult because of our own nature.
Best of luck to all people with diabetes. You can make it...

Why is the signal of letting glucose into the cell not getting through though?

[yrysf]

Very nice explanation . What is difference between fructose and glucose ?

The diabetes meme at the end 😂 only og now that meme

[karlhungus]

Kempner's Rice Diet at Duke University is interesting, as people ate white sugar, fruit juice, fruit, and, of course, (white) rice. People lost weight and improved or reversed various diseases. However, I don't see that as a healthy option for the long term. Maybe it was good as a crash diet for a limited time.
*Anyway, what about the role of dietary fat allegedly causing NAFLD, and that, in turn, leading to T2D?* This is a never-ending debate between the Keto/Carnivore group (high-fat, low-carb) and the Vegan group (high-carb, low-fat). Both groups report arresting and even reversing T2D. I don't know who or what to believe.

4:37 I feel like Robert Lustig has a hunch involving the body's limited fructose processing capability.

At 0:02: she says, "eating a lot of sugar cause diabetes." Wrong. Right : causes.
