eating sugar is not a primary cause of diabetes. eating junk food is not a primary cause of diabetes. when you make jokes about "getting diabetes" over sugary, junk filled food, you are enforcing stereotypes that end with diabetics developing deadly eating disorders or experiencing medical abuse and neglect. Yes, it is that deep. Stop making diabetes jokes, you look like an uneducated bigot
In general joking about diabetes is ableist and like terrible but in this case it is also deeply fatphobic :]:]:] you are framing disability as a punishment for overindulgence and that is wrong in two separate levels :]:]:]
I need to add that there's no "junk filled food." That type of view encourages diet culture, eating disorders, and fatphobia as well. You're allowed to eat cake.

As someone who has diabetic family members...for the love of everything, don't fall for the "evil sugar" propaganda. It's doing nothing but instilling eating disorders and unhealthy eating habits not just for kids but for adults as well. You're not helping. You're not being supportive. You're not "spreading awareness about the dangers of sugar." You're being an asshole and making others feel guilty for their condition.
