Does anyone have a cure for type 1 diabetes?

Answer 1

Actually there is. Getting a new pancreas through a transplant. Since diabetes is caused by problems with the pancreas (the pancreas doesn't make insulin) getting a transplant would cure diabetes.

They have done this on a few occasions

Answer 3

NO.

If anyone tries to tell you otherwise and sell you a "pill" or vitamin that can "cure" you, know that they are selling you snake oil (a fake cure).

Transplants thus far have been not very successful (less than 50% are able to get off insulin for even 1 year at most), and the drugs you must take to stop rejection are very toxic and can cause cancer. The average lifespan of a transplant recipient is 10 years. There is also a short supply of donors. Due to the above reasons, most do not qualify for a transplant.

We have not yet figured out how to stop the autoimmunity which caused Type 1 diabetes in the first place. If we put more beta cells into your body via a transplant, they will be destroyed just like the original ones.

There is lots of great research being done, but we are not there yet. Keep your head up. You will know when a cure is found.

P.S. "Stimulating the pancreas" in Type 1 diabetes would NOT be a good thing. All this would do (if a person even had any beta cells left to stimulate) would trigger the autoimmune response to attack with a vengeance, destroying your cells. Like I said, we are not there on the autoimmunity issue yet. Not that this is possible with any natural remedy anyway (that I am aware of), just had to prove a point.

Answer 4

Here you can find a very effective natural treatment for diabetes: http://diabete-cure.gelaf.info

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.

Answer 5

No. Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes, though--

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. Everything on the above list has a use in fighting diabetes. If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, I suggest getting a copy of--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which was first availale in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 7

There is no cure for Type 1 Diabetes as yet but I am sure that there will be one in the next few years. Type 1 Diabetes comes about because your pancreas stops working and therefore cannot produce the hormone Insulin. The only treatment for now is to inject the Insulin into the body manually every time you have some Carbohydrate to eat.

Have a talk to your doctor about the amount of basal (slow-acting Insulin) that you need to maintain your body and then the bolus (fast-acting Insulin) you need every time that you eat. You also need to check your blood sugar every mealtime to make sure it is within 4-8mmol/l. You also need to look after yourself by not smoking and exercising and go for regular checkups every year so they can monitor any signs of complications early.

I have had type 1 Diabetes for 18 years since I was a kid and I am doing ok and living a normal life so i know you can. Don't listen to everybody who says that you need a special diet - you just need to eat healthily, stay fit and take your insulin.

Good Luck.

Answer 8

The diabetes illness may be reduced just by picking up a handful of change in lifestyle. The diet plan really should comprise of fiber rich and also unprocessed foods. Eat 4 to six meals spread evenly during your day. Start working out on a regular basis. Health supplements can certainly help as well. Fish oil, a daily multivitamin with minerals, gymnema sylvestre, garlic, onion, and chromium could should be considered.

Answer 9

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/Zwn0E

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 10

There is no cure for type 1 or 2 diabetes.
There is some stem cell research going on at the mo.............

Answer 11

This site might be able to offer some really good advice.
I find it has reliblae info on alternative therpies, supplements etc.
