ACE1010: Inability for your body to 1. Produce enough insulin to convert sugar to energy 2. Recognise the insulin produced. Besides, 'sugar' is not necessarily white sugar or fizzy drinks. Sugar is gotten in different forms.... Glucose, fructose, sucrose etc. which is found in carbohydrates and fruits. There is rise in diabetes in Nigeria because our food is loaded with carbohydrates and we are not as mobile or active as our ancestors. That's also why people who do very physical jobs e.g. bricklayers do not have diabetes even if they eat bread and super water. Our so called staple protein (beans) is very high in carbohydrates and my Naija people will still eat it with rice, garri or bread. 3 Likes |

Excess sugar consumption can lead to becoming overweight and thenn type 2 diabetes There are also well documented cases of type 2 diabetes being reversed intto total remission with exercise and weght loss Therefore it is silly to say if your pancreas is "functional" you can consume sugar ad libitum to excess. By the way insulin is not the only hormone involved in sugar metabolism or diabetes. Infact diabetes is not just "sustained hyperglycaemia" . It is a lot more complex that than in type 2 diabetes. Also insulin resistance has little to do with the "functionality" of the pancreas and can develop when the body is overwhelmed with sugars especially fructose which is so widespread these day. There is a complex relationshp between diet, lifestyle especially exercise, visceral fat cell metabolism( specifically fatty cells covering organd deep in the abdomen and diabetes In summary the young man is wrong JediJedi is not dabetes Excess sugar intake can lead to diabetes 1 Like |

When Nigerians say sugar is bad for health and cause diabetes,what do they mean?Because rice,beans,plantain,yam,oats,potatoes,maize,cassava,wheat and wheat products are composed mainly of sugars. The only way to avoid sugar is to eat meat,eggs and fish.Sugar does not cause diabetes,else all Nigerians would be diabetics.The average Nigerian diet is about 80% carbohydrates. 2 Likes |

I think People don't understand the difference between "cause " and "risk factor ". In science effect is preceded by a cause always. For example Will I be rigth to say unprotected sex causes AIDS? No Unprotected sex doesn't cause AIDS ,many people have unprotected sex everyday and don't get AIDS,but unprotected sex put u at risk of getting various Sexually transmitted diseases eg HIV.Unprotected sex here is a risk factor for acquiring HIV infection. So it is the HIV virus contacted via unprotected sex (for example) that leads to HIV Infection and then AIDS. I think the doctor was saying, excess sugar doesn't cause diabetics (which is technically true), he is not saying excess sugar doesn't increase your risk of developing diabetes ,through various complex process. Ingestion of sugar(all carbohydrates, and mind you even proteins and fats can be converted to "sugars" in your body) should be done in moderation and a balance by energy requirements. Regular check up is the key. I know some will still attack me. 9 Likes |

Diabetes or not, taking too much sugar does not just augur well with my body chemistry, I don't always have an easy time in the toilet whenever I take sugar. I'm very sensitive to what I eat and how my body reacts to it, so sugar isn't just my thing, unless I'm looking to boost my energy level quickly. 2 Likes |

Excess sugars (carbohydrates) are converted to fats and stored underneath the skin (adipose tissue). In the presence of fat, insulin receptors on cell membranes aren't as efficient as they ought to be hence, uptake of insulin into cells is impaired, thereby leading to accumulation of glucose in the extracellular fluid or plasma leading to hyperglycemia or diabetes mellitus (after HBA1c value of>7%). So in other words, excessive sugar consumption may lead to obesity and indirectly to diabetes mellitus. I don't entirely agree with this doctor. 2 Likes |

First of all....his claims are false! Insulin does not digest glucose..rather helps to drive glucose into cells that need it for the generatiin of ATP. Its imperative to state here that NOT all cells/tissues in the human body require insulin...Only skeletal muscles and adipose tissue do. Other cells/tissues like brain,placenta,nerves etc do not require insulin.(let me not bore you guys with the molecular basis) Sustained high glucose can lead to diabetes over time due to the sustained stimulation of the beta cells in Islets of Langerhans. In a normal healthy young individual...your pancrease can cope. But then...how about other cells that just admit glucose molecules into them.? Does sustained blood glucose levels poison them on the long run? Do these insulin receptors(Glut4)get weak over time..? The answer is YES! In as much as there is a strong correlation between genetics and diseases...humans through there actions shorten the time for the expression of these diseases. Such actions include bad eating habits(here increased calorie intake),sedentary lifestyles,smoking,binge alcohol intake to say a few. I dare to say that his claims/opinions are spurious! Take charge of your health! Consume calories within your daily body requirements! Do not binge on Soda! Last last do not listen to halfbaked doctors! I am a young medical doctor and have diabetes! Courtesy of my unhealthy soda drinking habit while in medical school! #stoptheSODAaddiction 1 Like |
