Did You Know? Diabetes Isn't Caused by a Sweet Tooth -- But Nearly Half of People Think So

Diabetes Isn't Caused by a Sweet Tooth -- But Nearly Half of People Think So: Nearly half (42%) of people still think eating too much sugar causes diabetes and a quarter (25%) of people object to people with diabetes injecting insulin in public, according to a survey. The survey also discovered that 50% of people think that people with diabetes benefit from food and drink labeled "suitable for diabetics" or sugar free. Other diabetes myths include: Type 2 diabetes is "mild diabetes"; if you have diabetes you can't drive; and people with diabetes can't play sports. Diabetes UK
