Sugar certainly increases your risk of type 2 diabetes. Isn't it the entire risk?

Ice cream may reduce it, but I'd expect ice cream with less sugar would be more effective. (Depending on what it's replaced with of course.)

I wouldn't be surprised if lower sugar ice cream is more effective (if there is a real, meaningful ice cream effect), but I think there is a lot more than just sugar leading to diabetes, and I don't think it's clear exactly how sugar is leading to diabetes. Is it because it's causing visceral fat? Is it directly causing gut dysbiosis?
