Misconceptions cloud understanding diabetes, implicating sugar intake and lifestyle as sole culprits. While sugar doesn’t directly cause diabetes, excess increases obesity risk, a factor for type 2 diabetes, which stems from genetic and lifestyle influences. Early prevention and a healthy lifestyle can mitigate risks, with no diabetes type being less serious as each can lead to life-threatening hyperglycemia. Diet management, including moderation of meat and fats intake, is crucial, and brown foods with dietary fiber can aid glucose control. Contrary to beliefs, diabetics need emergency sweets to combat hypoglycemia risks alongside medications.
