The only "new" treatment option is "Byetta" a new drug on the market. It's action is to reduce glucose and as an additional benefit it does not promote weight gain as insulin might.

Sorry why should type 2 diabetics not recieve treatment? Just because they get treatment it does not mean that type ! diabetics do not get it. Are you saying that in some cases of type 2 the patient could have lived a better life that they do not deserve to be treated? If that is the case why stop there? why treat smokers for any of the cancers, heart problems/strokes or lung diseases that they may get? Obviously drinkers deserve any problems to as does anyone who uses drugs or inhales anything? Why treat people with anorexia or bulemia? they cause the problems themselves the list goes on and on.What about someone injured in a automobile accident if it was their fault? Should you deny treatment to someone with an inherited disease concieved after the parents know that there is a change of their baby being affected? I certainly would not want to try and play God in this fashion and decide who deserves treatment. Apart from that not many type 2 diabetics use insulin which is the treatment for type 1, most others use either diet, exercise and sometimes oral drugs to control their blood sugar levels. Perhaps I should not recieve treatment for osteo-arthritis or would I get it because I damaged my spine when working as a nurse. I am sorry but you can not decide to treat/not treat people if you think they are responsible for their illness. Nobody chooses to be a diabetic and it is only in the past ten years or less that some of the TRIGGERS and not causes of the disease have been known. You can not punish ignorance.(Although I sometimes wish we could please check your facts next time)

The newest is Byetta, which is an incretin mimetic. Incretin tells the pancreas to release insulin when food is in the gut. When there is no food, there is no insulin. Byetta mimics incretin with 2 good effects. 1)no hypoglycemia, and 2) weight loss which helps the diabetes in and of itself. Downside is that it is an injection

The 'cure' mentioned earlier has no merit, though it does help to control type 2 diabetes to some extent.

Having a bit of cinnamon each day is meant to help stabilise blood sugar according to the latest medical research (try searching under Yahoo for info) . Though the worse that should happen is that it does nothing - before doing anything different mention it to your doctor.
Good luck

I think an inhalable insulin called Exubra (sp?) is available. I heard Byetta is a very good drug as well.

You can cure your diabetis with the elimination of processed carbs (no bread, pasta, rice, juice, soda, sugar), proper diet and glucophage.
