      Kind of? Getting fat and eating too much regularly are great ways to get diabetes, and sugar is a great way to get fat.

        Sugar is also acidic. Not enough to kill you, but that’s why ketoacidosis kills people. It also increases blood viscosity, making it pump harder and causing hypertension. Plus, it causes chronic inflammation, which calcifies triglycerides in your blood to form clots.

        Sugar has tons of negative effects.

          On the flip side, you require a steady supply of glucose into your cells to live.

          Also I’m not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.

        Not the commenter but as a type 1 diabetic yeah you’re right, but when most say diabetes they mean type 2, which is the kind where you eat unhealthy and don’t exercise where type 1 is when your immune system just doesn’t like your pancreas

        I was going somewhere with this but completely lost my train of thought
