IS DIABETES CAUSED BY FAT OR SUGAR?

I will reinforce Ken Hills response. The food you eat does not cause diabetes. In fact, we know very little about the CAUSE of diabetes.

For type 2 diabetes we know that the transport of glucose into the cell, mediated by insulin, is impaired (this is called “insulin resistance”) but exactly why the cell behaves in this way, by what mechanism this transport fails, is not well understood. “Insulin resistance” is a descriptive label that still leaves open the more important question of “why” does the cell and cell membrane behave in this way; until this question is answered our understanding is quite limited.

Type 1 diabetes is a different entity altogether and is associated with failure of the pancreas to create or release insulin. The cause is unknown but the current view is that it is likely to be due to an injury to the beta cell (the cell in the pancreas that produces insulin) by an infectious agent, either direct or immune related, the current hypothesis being that this is of viral origin.
