No, that wasn't what I was saying...I was saying that diet is considered to be a contributing factor in insulin resistance/Type II diabetes. There is no scientific evidence that says eating excessive sugar causes Type II diabetes, nor is there a known cause for Type II. One thing we do know is that the majority of people with Type II are obese, and obesity certainly can be caused by eating too many sweets.
What I was trying to get at is that it is just generally a good idea to maintain an even level of blood glucose. Spikes and drops aren't good for anyone. Your brain really doesn't like it, for example. Thus, the timing of eating sweets is a good question to ask.
This is what happens when I try to post while distracted, lol.
