Do sugarless, artifically sweetened drinks (like Diet Coke) cause diabetes?

I'm cutting my calories and most sugarless drinks have 0 calories so I've been using them to have something sweet in the meantime.

But do they still lead to diabetes? Diabetes is prevalent in my family and I REALLY don't want to get it... Insulin is ridiculously expensive...
