Answer 1

Diabetes is when the Pancreas fails to produce Insulin that converts energy to the cells. You need to understand that you don't have Diabetes, Diabetes has you, forever. People with Diabetes live and exist in a different state of mind, Sugar is not the enemy, to much sugar is. Eating and sustaining a Diet is the main stay of proper Diabetic procedure. Insulin Factors and so does exercise. Doing both in the right sequence can be tolerated, to much of one or both can cause Insulin Reaction and havoc in the Diabetics life. High Blood sugars is another factor in the Diabetics life. Most people relate High Blood Sugars to over eating, this is a cause, but it's one of the many causes that include High Blood Sugars,... Expired Insulin, Insulin stored in the wrong environment, Insulin mixed with other Insulin's are many of the causes that effect High Blood Sugars. Having the Flu or an infection can raise blood sugars and keep sugars unbalanced until flu or infection is gone. Diabetics that have the Flu are not going to exercise, this could raise Blood sugars, The Diabetic mind and existence are cordoned by them selves, existing help is available but not always accepted according to the conditions and factors. That's why Diabetics seem to be alone and off distant even when all is good. Looking for the next answer is only a Blood Draw Away.

Diabetes can be "reversed" or go into "remission". I believe that what that is is decreasing the need to take medications. A person who has diabetes will always have it... but there are cases where a type 2 can either reduce medications or even eliminate them... but will still need to watch diet, get plenty of exercise and keep their weight down. This is called management and control. However, that does not mean that there will never be one. Research has taken huge advances and the more scientists learn about it, the higher likelihood that a cure might come about someday.
While I did recently read an article that stated gastric lap band or gastric bypass MAY be a potential cure, more research is needed and even if this one day is a cure, it would only be effective on type 2s who are obese since neither of those procedures are performed on people who are of normal weight or body mass. Stem cell transplants are still highly controversial and most likely, have a long way to go before it is approved as a diabetes cure by the FDA. Since the vast majority of diabetics are type 2 (roughly 90%), those of us who are type 1 seem to get lost in the shuffle. EMT type 1 for more years than I care to remember, use a pump. Let me add that when I mean diabetes can be controlled and managed without medication but with diet, exercise and weight control, I'm referring to type 2. This is not an option for type 1s, who must take insulin, either by injections or a pump, to survive.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, which result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with “sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine. Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. In patients with diabetes, the absence or insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime.
