Diabetes is not caused by eating sugar - even lots of sugar.
And when you say you gave up sugar - did you give up bread and starchy foods (carbs) as well? Because those, especially simple carbs (white bread, white pasta, potatoes), turn to sugar in your system.
Here's a link to some type 2 diabetes info:

If you suspect that you are diabetic, you need to go to a doctor. It is true that type 2 diabetes can sometimes be managed by diet, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes you need medication to assist in the process. And not taking care of yourself when you have diabetes is no laughing matter. I think that website should give you the info you are looking for.
