<s>[INST] Hi I have 5 teaspoons of sugars in my cup of tea, now I only have 4-5 cups a day and i dont eat any chocolate, crisps or sweets i also cant / dont drink juice or frizzy drinks . I am 4ft10 and weight 7stone5 so not anyway over weight but my mum says Im going to get disabilities from having all that sugar in my tea. Is this correct? Do I need to cut down? [/INST] Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. It looks like you are adding a lot of sugar to your single cup of tea. If you are slim and not overweight and no history of family diabetes, then it may pose a little problem like having a risk of diabetes in the future. So you need to lower intake of sugar in your diet and start eating other things more instead of sugar or take sugar less in amount. Else I have seen many patients who do take sugar even more than you with no problems, but one should be careful and cautious about health. So decreasing intake is in your own good. Hope I answered your question.  Feel free to ask if you need further assistance.  Thanks. </s>
