i think that exercise and diet may lessen your dependence on insulin to the point where you don't need shots or drugs anymore. however, you will still be diabetic and will need to check your sugar regularly.
i don't believe there is a cure for diabetes yet, so the underlying condition will always be there. but exercise and diet can improve the way your body handles the diabetes.

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who could potentially become diabetic)...
I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:
http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/
The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Here's another great health site with all kinds of general health information:

Once you are diabetic you will always be diabetic. You can control it 100% with the proper diet and exercise
When I was diagnosed 2 years ago, my AC1 was 10.5 my blood sugar was running 400-500.
The doctor put me on Lantis and I put myself on a total life makeover.
I lost that extra bit of weight had, ate right and walked at least 30 minutes everyday.
Today my AC1 is 4.5 my blood sugar a consistent 80 - 90 without medication. It can be done and I know that you can do it because I did it. And trust me if I can do it, it is something anyone can do.
Don't set your goal high. Start with small things and work your way up. Don't deprive yourself. If you have a sugar craving go get a Hershey's bar and eat 2 squares, put the rest in the freezer for the next craving.
You will find that with making a few small changes here and there before you know it, you have major changes going and you are feeling better and right on track!
Good luck, I know you can do it!!

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes can respond to a reduction in weight especially if one is significantly overweight. If weight loss is achieved by healthy eating and adequate exercise and this is followed for life, the symptoms of diabetes can go away and thereby the ill effects of the disease such as blindness, poor circulation, heart and kidney disease among others can be avoided or minimized. This is not the case with Type one or what is sometimes called Juvenile diabetes.

Yes, if you are a type 2 diabetic.
If you were born with diabetes, you are a type 1. If you ate too much and your body decided it was tired of trying to use all the sugar that was floating around in your bloodstream, you are a type 2. There are other types, but these 2 types are most common.
You should DEFINITELY seek advice from a Dr. before attempting to treat your own diabetes.

If it is Type 2 Diabetes then it is possible for SOME people. I have known several people who got to a normal weight and cut their sugar intake way down and they had no symptoms of Type 2. At the very least it will not HURT to get healthier and lose weight.
Type 1 Diabetes is a different thing. There is no cure for it.

if you have type 2 diabetes, sure it's possible. if you have type 1 diabetes (which is inherited and is usually diagnosed in childhood) you cannot change it - you will always be insulin dependent. type 2 is what is known as adult onset diabetes, which is usually bght on by being overweight, eating poorly, and not exercising enough. if you are diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic and are overweight, you can really reduce the signs and symptoms of diabetes simply by losing weight (which means, eating right and exercising). if you arent overweight and you closely follow the suggested diabetic diet and exercising, you can really keep your blood sugars in check. keep in mind though - once you are diagnosed as a diabetic, you will ALWAYS have to eat like a diabetic. you will always need to watch what you eat and will always need to make sure youre getting enough exercise in order to keep the diabetes in control. if you stop eating right and stop being active, then your blood sugars could go up again and you could have alot of the discomfort of diabetes all over again.
