Dear concerned
There are two major reasons behind every disease, genetic (u can say family history) and environmental factors. Taking large amount of sweets daily will make u at risk for diabetes earlier. Desire for sweets is also alarming as such behaviour has been observed in people in their joinery towards diabetes. So we should eat healthy as we are what we eat. Best regards.

so far everything seems to be under control but consuming too much sweets or chocolate can higher up this range of HBA1c for sure .which mean you will be vulnerable to be diabetic soon.
your daily habits are healthy but please restrain yourself from extra meethas of any kind
thanks
