As has been pointed out, there is no cure for either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The best course of action is strict control and management, to minimize complications. Exercise and proper diet, as well as frequent checking of blood glucose levels, are the best ways to minimize the chances of having to take pills for type 2. With type 1, there is no way around the need for insulin, as in type 1 diabetes, the pancreas stops making insulin, while in type 2 the body doesn't effectivel use the insulin produced. For insulin, it's currently injection, although the inhaled form has recently come out. The otehr alternative, in extreme conditions such as brittle, uncontrollable diabetes, is a pancreas transplant. Islet cell transplantation research has gained in popularity, but has yet to really show any tangible and sustainable results, displaying only less than 20% successfully off insulin after 5 years. Of course, there's still research going on, and there's still hope.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.
Watch the 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html , about diabetes diet.
Best of luck.

There is not yet a cure - but soon we all hope. Exubera is an inhalable insulin that is great for treatment of diabetes, not the cure. I have used this new item for about 2 months now and it replaces the syringes!
Good luck.

Let me first explain the two different types of diabetes. Think of it in terms of the milkman - in type I there isn't enough milk delivered to keep the home healthy; in type II there is too much milk delivered.
Type I diabetes requires insulin. Your pancreas is not creating enough to allow your body to digest sugars. There is no cure for this, but proper diet and exercise can help a great deal.
Type II diabetes there is too much insulin in your body. This is often due to obesity and poor diet, but not always. It can be age or your genetics. Diet and weight loss can often reverse this type of diabetes if it's weight / poor diet related. Otherwise pills are taken to help control it.

If you follow a healthy diet, exercise routine, keep your weight down, and maybe take a few supplements, you can keep type 2 diabetes well under control often without pills or injections. Reading my diabetes info webpage can help get you started:

well there is no cure for type 1, as for type 2 most people who lose the weight find they no longer need meds. but there is a new drug i seen in a mag. its an inhaler. it works for type 1 and 2. I don't know if its on the market, but it shouldn't be long. My 3 yr old daughter has type1 and she is geting the insulin pump. It is supposed to be a more stable way for smaller kids.
