Answer 4

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in April of this year, my doctor told me even if I lost weight, I would still be diabetic.
At this time there is no cure. Taking care of yourself, by exercising and eating healthy well balanced meals to help keep your blood sugar under control. Also if your prescribed medication, TAKE IT!!!
Learn all you can, because if you don't take care of yourself, you can cause all kinds of other havoc through out your body and organs.

Answer 5

Depends on your definition of cure. If you're referring to type 2, then many folks have gotten off medication just by losing weight, dieting, and exercising. If that falls into the 'cure' category, then yes. If you're talking about being able to once again pig out and drink yourself into oblivion like when you were young, then, no... there is no cure. Here's more:

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

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:

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:

Answer 6

It's been discussed as a possible treatment for both, in that both types involve death of beta cells and stem cells could possibly be used to regenerate them. I have read that one possible issue with using stem cells for type 1 would be the need to treat/cure the immune response that killed the beta cells in the first place. I wouldn't think that it would be a "cure" for type 2, since the insulin resistance would still be a problem. But for type 1, if they could get around the immune response issue, it looks very promising.
