This study shows that sugar intake alone does not directly cause type 2 diabetes. Excess calorie intake and weight gain are the primary drivers of diabetes development.
2. Academic Press – Biochemical Immunology of Diabetes and Associated Complications (2024):
Types of diabetes mellitus, mechanism of insulin resistance and associated complications
This research explains that type 2 diabetes is primarily caused by insulin resistance, not by sugar alone, and highlights associated complications like infections and metabolic dysfunction.

Sugar intake from sweetened beverages and diabetes: A narrative review
This review demonstrates that sugar-sweetened beverages increase diabetes risk indirectly through obesity, inflammation, and metabolic stress, rather than sugar itself.

Effects of different diets on glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes: A literature review
The study emphasizes that overall diet quality and macronutrient balance are more important for blood sugar control than sugar alone.
