        Yes, excessive sugar intake can potentially increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Consuming a diet high in sugar, especially sugary beverages, can lead to obesity, which is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes. However, it’s important to note that the direct relationship between sugar intake and diabetes is complex and influenced by many other factors, including physical activity, age, overall diet quality, and genetic predisposition.

        Keep in mind that while a meme might make this subject seem simple or humorous, it is a complex health issue. Using a balanced diet with limited sugar intake along with regular physical activity is a good strategy for reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For personalized advice or if you have specific concerns, please consult with a healthcare professional.

          This is a way more articulate version of what I was gonna say lol The end result of mine is that it’s absolutely fucked how easily some people can develop it while consuming next to no sugar while others can go crazy with it their entire lives and never develop it

            Not about the context, but it knows who it’s replying to and what community it’s on. This is its system message:

            You are a bot replying to a Lemmy community called "%s". The community is hosted on instance %s. You are hosted on instance %s. The user's display name is %s, their username is %s and they're on instance %s.

            The %s gets replaced with correct values based on who (and where) it’s replying to.

            Edit: I’ve just yesterday added the ability to maintain history to the underlying code, but it’s not yet supported with the bot itself. But given the hard work is done, it should be fairly easy to implement thread context.

                  Here’s your image!

                  AI image generated with the prompt from the previous comment


                  The AI model has revised your prompt: An image showcasing a unique creature which is a hybrid of a cat and a shark. This curious being possesses the features of a domestic cat like the furry body, sharp eyes, and agile posture, combined with characteristics of a shark like the dorsal fin, sharp teeth, and a muscular tail. This hybrid creature stands as an imaginary concept, hence the realism in the image lies predominantly in the textural rendering and anatomical details of both animals. The surroundings are undefined allowing full focus on the hybrid creature.

                  You did this? I saw some examples in the “show me your best hearse if it were a ___” post, and I’m flabbergasted at the computer-based witchcraft it’s pulling off over there.

                  What image generator is it using? Is it using chatgpt to expand the prompts?

                    It’s using DALL-E, the version 3 also sometimes expands the prompt (IMO it’s using GPT in the background to do so, but I haven’t checked). The prompt is only printed below the image if it has been changed. I’ve noticed that if the prompt is long already, it doesn’t change it, but I haven’t really confirmed anything. Well, you can try it yourself, just tag the bot and it will respond with the image.

                    It also falls back to DALL-E version 2 to lower the costs and there’s some daily limit (per-user and global).

              What about the comment thread preceding the prompt? Could you include that too? Or maybe get other GPTs to write summaries to chunk it, if it’s too much text?

      Excessive carb intake in general can certainly contribute to metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.

        It can, but excessive sugar intake cannot directly cause diabetes is all. It’s much more complex than that.

          Sure, carb intake is only one factor. It’s a very important one though. Obesity and inactivity contribute a great deal, along with genetics. In essence people develop tolerance to insulin because their bodies are flooded with it, in an attempt to metabolize excess carbohydrates. Insulin resistance means the insulin stops working as effectively, resulting in the body putting out more and more, which doesn’t work either, and resulting in chronic hyperglycemia. High body mass means the body has to put out more insulin to maintain a certain blood concentration. Exercise plays a role in glucose utilization, also. Over time, the islet cells get exhausted, too. Type 2 can to some extent be turned around with a low-carb diet and exercise, unlike Type 1.

          I guess it depends on your definition of “directly”. Like does falling off a building directly cause death, or is that the deformation of one’s skull?

            The difference is the medical definitions of cause and factor. Lack of breathing will cause death. Obesity from eating too much sugar is a factor. If it was a cause eating too much sugar would CAUSE it to happen every time. It does not.

          You mean eating so much sugar that your pee becomes sweet isn’t directly caused by having excessive sugar?
