itsok,
Just because you eat a lot of sugar it does not mean you have diabetes.
The test you mom is telling you about is where the doctor will look closely at the shape of the lens in your eye. It can change as it can absorb glucose (sugar) from your blood. Do you have blurred vision?
A more common test is a blood test. Usually you will have a "fasting" test in which you fast overnight. The doctors then will draw some blood to test your blood sugar. They will also test your blood sugar after you eat to see how your body reacts.
Don't be scared. IF you have this it can be controlled.
Type 1 - seems to be inherited and may be from a virus. It usually comes on quickly. May be called "juvenile diabetes."
Type 2 - "adult onset" is usually associated with lifestyle issues.
Hope it helps.

Hey there 2b, what did you do, get a medical book with all the diseases known to man and start looking for symptoms? 8-|
Eating candy just means you like candy. I love candy!!! I quit smoking when I was 42 and I took up candy :O XD :-S
My nurse practitioner at the VA keeps bugging me about my glucose level but at 6.2 I don't think it's any higher than most 70 year old slightly fat guys. She gave me a meter to check my blood sugar level and it's always within the normal range, even when I'm eating up all the Halloween candy I had left over.
I think you're making yourself nuts looking for things to be wrong with you.
Start thinking positive and enjoy life.
