Hi Preshy,

"Is sugar only the cause of diabetes?"

Sugar is a contributing factor towards the development of Type diabetes, but it is not the only cause. There are many contributing factors, and some are more influential than others in particular individuals. Type diabetes is different again, and is more of a congenital disease (something that you have from/before birth) and isn't brought on by the same factors as for TD.

"is this a contest we are allowed to write about?"

The idea of the competition is to write a blog post which details how you would reduce your sugar intake during a festivity which often revolves around the consumption of chocolate. Remember, this doesn't just apply to existing diabetics! Reducing your sugar intake can help you to avoid getting diabetes, if you don't already have it.

However, if you just want to write about our competition, and spread the word for us, that would be appreciated too. The prizes will be reserved for those posts which meet the simple criteria of including a tip of your own for reducing sugar intake over Easter.
