Does a child eat too much sugar, will they get diabetes?

Patient's question:

I heard that eating too much sugar can lead to diabetes. My son loves sugar and has to eat it every day. Watching his mouth move, I'm sure he's eating sugar. I don't know if he will get diabetes.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, consuming too much sugar indeed increases the metabolic pressure on pancreatic cells. However, children generally have strong metabolic abilities and are unlikely to develop diabetes. It is still recommended not to eat too much sugar, as it can easily lead to tooth decay. I hope this helps.
