Could too much sugar ingestion eventually result in diabetes?

[Berzerker]

Heart disease is a symptom of diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin to counter high blood sugar levels. But ingesting lot's of sugar over time over works the pancreas and it eventually loses the ability to produce insulin.

The pancreas giving out, or suddenly not producing enough insulin, is one cause (or result) of diabetes.
