So sugary foods don't give you diabetes so long as you burn those sugars off and avoid putting a fat layer around your pancreas (I'm talking type 2)

Are you type 1 or type 2? You sound like a type 1

Insulin dependant type 2.
Yes, fatty liver is awful, but the pancreas is the beggar to let you down big time.
Sugar in just about everything you eat, even stuff we think of as healthy.
What with high purines that cause gout, the diabetes and ruddy kidney failure if I stuck to only what I can eat I reckon I would be living in water and cheese.
