Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there other ways that diabetes is caused with bad diet, aside from eating a lot of sugar straight? I imagine artificial sweeteners could have an effect of not significantly changing one's diet enough or compensating in other ways. I'm sure people who put the effort in other areas of their diet with NSS, will see results. But people who see NSS as a cheatcode to continue their habits might not see results. Framing NSS as a way to not change habits and continue to enjoy various treats might obfuscate the mechanisms for losing weight and cause weight loss to not occur.

Quite a few pathways to diabetes other than eating sugar. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overview/symptoms-causes https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overvi... To the bad diet issue, diabetes is triggered by excess of carbohydrates hence the Association was sugar but sugar is not the only form of carbohydrate that causes insulin spikes and subsequent insulin resistance. Basically any cereal (aka grain) can spike the blood sugar to the point of causing diabetes. White rice, white flour lead the pack but as I've discovered with my CGM, any starchy food causes unacceptably high glucose spikes which leaves me eating nothing but non-starchy vegetables and meat.
