      If you have an unhealthy diet and don’t look after your body, particularly if you become obese, then you are more likely to get (type II) diabetes. Sometimes people don’t, whereas some people do. At the minute, scientists are trying to find out why certain people develop diabetes, when some people don’t. All we can currently say at the minute is that if you eat a lot of sugary food, or are overweight, then you are more likely to develop the illness.
