This is true.

Healthline points out that eating huge amounts of added sugar has the possibility of increasing your risk of diabetes, it is one small factor. Overall diet, lifestyle, and genetics also play a role in developing diabetes. So, it is not true to claim that one would develop diabetes from eating too much sugar. Even more things that play a role into developing diabetes include body weight, exercise, smoking, and even sleep apnea.

The cause of diabetes is not from eating sugar. To begin, there are two different type of diabetes, which is type one and two. Type one diabetes occurs when a person is born with diabetes, so their body naturally does not make insulin. On the other hand, type two diabetes develops over a person's lifetime. An article by Diabetes Canada explains, "Type 2 diabetes is caused by several factors including obesity, ethnic background, a family history of type 2 diabetes and other environmental factors". So, there are other factors other than diet (in this case sugar) that will result in having type two diabetes.
