Unless a person has a true INSULIN problem like Type 1 diabetes the short answer is no. However high carb and sugar intake on a long term basis that causes significant weight gain can lead to Type II diabetes.

But does over indulgence cause diabetes? No as long as the insulin is working properly in ones body.

Have your fasting sugar levels checked if your worried.
