Tight control can prevent or slow the progress of many complications of diabetes, giving you extra years of healthy, active life. It does NOT, however, cure diabetes. Diabetes, whether type 1 or type 2, is incurable, only treatable. You can only control your diabetes, not cure it. Even extensive exercise and strict diet are methods of control. Research HAS shown, however, that if you take action to manage your blood glucose when you have pre-diabetes, you can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes from ever developing.

The AMA says there is no cure for diabetes, but they are the same ' unbiased experts' who say there is no cure for cancer, and make our citizens go out of the country for effective treatment. Just ask Suzanne Sommers, who had cancer till she received treatment in England. She is cured, now.
Yes, there absolutely IS a cure for type 2 diabetes, but it's not a magic pill. A person must have enough will power to change the things in his life that caused him to start being a diabetic in the first place.
Quoting Dr. Frank right here on Yahoo! Answers, " A group of doctors took some newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics, and, with their permission, put them through a VERY tough program of diet, weight loss and VERY vigorous exercise. They were very closely supervised, controlled and monitored. About 30% of them were able to bring their glucose tolerance tests back to normal, which did mean they were no longer technically diabetic." Hey, that's a diplomatic way of saying they were CURED.
Second, in WWII London, standard items like sugar and white bread, and extra cooking oil, and civilian gasoline were almost non-existent for several years, and Londoners ate basic foods and walked a lot, or rode bicycles. A strange thing happened--diabetes, which had been at epidemic proportions before the war, practically disappeared--until the war ended and people returned to their normal deitary and exercise habits--and, you guessed it--the diabetes reappeared. That's a true story, and that alone points to the real problem and solution.
Third, we have modern documentation reaffirming the proof of a cure for type 2 diabetes--watch this 8-minute, non-profit video trailer, and you can be convinced, too.

And last, if we are so far along our bodies will not heal on their own, we have effective help to get well.
The book, "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313, outlines a simple plan to use herbs and minerals to retune our bodies and bring our metabolisms back to normal. Here are the main items he has researched, and that work--
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. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes, and when combined with the proper diet and exercise, can bring hope to almost all type 2 diabetics who will believe and work the program.
Best of luck.

No - by mild I think you are talking about type 2 diabetes. In many cases this can be improved through diet and exercise to the extent that you no longer require treatment for some time, but once you have it it cannot go away, and because it is a degenerative condition however well you look after yourself you will eventually need treatment (unless you die first). However, diet and exercise can prevent diabetes from developing (though not for everyone!) and if you have it already, possitive lifestyle change can reverse or delay the need for treatment and make treatment more effective once it is required. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but I think it's important that people understand this about diabetes because I regularly speak to people who feel that they have failed because despite sticking to strict diet and exercise they need increasing quantities of tablets or insulin and that can be quite upsetting. The most important thing is to look after yourself and work with drs to make sure that you control is as good as possible to prevent other health effects related to diabetes. Good luck xx

I'm not sure whether diabetes can be cured but you can certainly do things to help - and I am living proof of that. I have type 2 diabetes and was on 58 units of insulin twice a day, I cut my portion size and began to eat healthier (Even though I wasn't eating that bad anyway) and over the course of a few months my weight dropped by 8lb and my insulin intake dropped to 38 units twice a day.

Once again, I find myself asking people to define cure. If, by cure, you mean not having to take medication, then, yes... type two diabetes can be cured... with diet, exercise, and a few supplements....it happens often. That doesn't mean that you can go pig out on desserts all the time, though. That's the catch... Technically, you're not cured because you have to watch your carb and sugar intake, and exercise a lot in order to keep your blood glucose down. So, you see, there's a gray area you have to consider. I can tell you, from experience, that believing what doctors (except Dr. Frank) and nutritionists tell you will not help you get better. You must go out and seek the truth on your own. Most medical professionals are out to lunch when it comes to diabetes care... that's a fact.

no diabetes can not be cured. we produce glucose from starchy foods such as potatoes bread etc that we eat. our body produces insulin from the pancreas to help our body absorb the glucose into our cells to be stored for when we need extra glucose. diabetes is when our body is either not producing any insulin at all (type 1 diabetes) or we are producing a small amount of insulin or the insulin is not doing its job(type 2). which is what i think you are asking about. there are 2 million people in uk who suffer with diabetes and 750,00 people who have it and don't know. with diabetes type 2 it is about lifestyle changes, diet, weight loss and increased activity. if you can change these it is possble to live with diabetes without needing to ever take medication. hope this helps.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I will try to answer.
There is no cure for diabetes. Type I cannot be cured even with transplant.
Type II can be controlled with diet and exercised, but is still not cured.

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/kGslS
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.
