Can one soda a day really increase my chances of getting diabetes??


Question: If so how much does it increase the likelyhood?
Answers: i don't know about diabetes, but it'll increase your chances of being obese, and obesity can lead to diabetes.
Short answer: NO, it can't.

That is a myth. In reality, obesity increases your chances of becoming diabetic, the amount of sugar in your soda does not. Soda is not really good for you, but if it is in the context of an otherwise healthy and varied diet, you will not cause yourself any harm to drink a soda every day.
idk but i dont drink soda it is no good for you
many factors besides that 1 can of soda.are you overweight?do your parents or blood relatives have or had diabetes if now living or dead.have you had big change in weight reciently.perhaps if you drank that one soda, and kept a close watch of all your food, and liquid intake,

kf is right
if u are going to be diabetic, sure u will. soda wont modify that.if u have developed diabetes, then care for the callorie.
This is ridiculous. Many people have 4-5 soda a day, and they don't have diabetes. There are people who drown their coffee with sugar every time they drink it, and they don't have diabetes. Ask a health care professions to explain diabetes to you.
I am not sure about all the ramifications of whether or not it will cause diabetes down the road, but one thing for sure, take a look next time you drink one at the content. Not only is sugar high (40+ carbs for one drink when 40 carbs is more than enough for a whole meal plus dessert) but the sodium is worse. Best bet would be to drink something like Diet Rite if you have to drink soda, Diet Rite has even come out with new flavors too, and they don't have anything in them at all, no sodium and no sugar either.

caffeine and sugar are two things that diabetics need to worry about. Chances of getting diabetes has to do with being overweight, family history, and Hispanics also have the highest rate of diabetics. Be careful of what you eat period. If you indulge everyday in sugar and white flour foods(white rice, pasta,white bread, potatoes,etc.) then you can increase your risk.
It probably depends on what the rest of your daily diet consists of, if there is a family history of diabetes, your personal health, etc.

I'd say alone it probably wouldn't have a huge effect, but put with other risk factors, it could be the straw that broke the camel's back...so to speak...

If you really fear that occuring, then cut out the soda or switch to diet...it's not worth risking your health over...
yup
No . Sugar do not cause diabetes
If you drink soda, can't you drink the sugar-free stuff?
one is ok 10 will get you to diabetes
Diabetes is a 3rd chakra problem
look up what the 3rd chakra relates to emotionally and see what is does for you

Some good answers in here. No, 1 soda/day will not increase your overall chances for diabetes.

There are many safeguards you can take. Eat a balanced diet combined with the proper exercise. This reduces your risk greatly, by simply staying fit and healthy.

I think the media causes some hysteria in regards to living healthy. All of the medical studies that come out, often conflict w/truth and the media thrives on that.
well drinking a lot of soda or any type of excess sugar is never good for you. but honestly who is going to give up eating that stuff it just tastes too good for that. maybe try to cut down a little bit and make sure that you are exercising. the only connection i can make between the sodas and diabetes is that over time you would become obese which could lead to your pancreas shutting down.
