Presented at the American Heart Association Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, the research found that people were more likely to need a diabetic bracelet if they drank excessive amounts of fizzy drinks.
American researchers discovered that sugary drinks, which can contain up to 200 calories each, contributed to more that 130,000 cases of Type 2 diabetes between 1990 and 2000.
Florence Brown, care advisor at Diabetes UK, said that such drinks may lead to easy weight gain 'which can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, a serious life-long condition that can lead to complications such as blindness, heart disease and amputation'.
Last month, a new report issued by organisations including the NHS Diabetes Information Service suggested that more needs to be done to help sufferers manage the condition.
