Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. Diabetes affects your ability to process sugar but sugar is not the cause.

But sugar does contribute to obesity, which influences diabetes.

More likely obesity is an inevitable consequence of diabetes and the diet that leads to it. The fact that you can be skinny and diabetic supports the idea that it isn't the obesity, it's the diet. We have observed the mechanism that causes insulin insensitivity. It's not some mystery, people just don't want to accept that EATING ANIMALS CAUSES DIABETES.
