Did I Eat Too Much Sugar?

It seems lately that a lot of people have been asking me the question that all T1's hate to be asked; " Did you get diabetes from eating too much sugar?". It shocks me when I think about how uneducated society is about a disease that is becoming an epidemic. I realize that the epidemic is T2, but honestly, people just have no clue. I would never walk up to someone with cancer and ask if they got the disease from smoking too many cigarettes...I am aware that there are various forms of the disease....I am somewhat educated. But these people who ask the stupidest questions...I often wonder how they survive and function in society.
