When you have diabetes can you cure yourself?

Answer 1

There are two types of diabetes;

Type 1 Diabetes - aka Juvenile Onset

T1 diabetes is diagnosed to children, young adolescents, and in rare cases adults. Hence it's name, Juvenile Onset Diabetes, or Juvenile diabetes for short.

In a T1 diabetic, the immune system attacks the pancreatic cells that produce insulin - thus "killing" that function of the pancreas completely. Therefore a T1 diabetic must always take insulin and can never go off of insulin.


Type 2 Diabetes - aka Adult Onset

T2 diabetes is most commonly diagnosed to adults and the elderly, however it can be dianosed in children. It is also very commonly diagnosed to those individuals who are overweight, and/or have a strong history of T2 diabetes in their family.

In a T2 diabetic, their pancreas still produces insulin, however their pancreas does not produce enough to support their body weight. Or due to hereditary reasons, the pancreas is prone to petering out it's insulin efficiency. Or T2 diabetes can also be diagnosed when someone has developed a resistance to the insulin that their body produces.

A T2 diabetic, in some cases can "cure" their diabetes through dieting and exercise. If they can maintain a healthy weight, in a lot of cases their pancreas function returns to "normal" levels.

A Type 2 diabetic can be treated with certain medications given orally, such as diamicron, metformin. And in some severe cases, they do need to take insulin injections.

So, no at the moment there is no cure. However, they are working on it and trying many different treatments. I think T1 diabetics would be happy just to have a way around injections (eg. have an inhaler instead).

It can be managed. It can also be a battle. It's not terminal, but how you manage your diabetes can affect your quality of life. I never listened to my doctors, and now I can no longer walk properly - I'm only 21. Other problems are blindness, kidney failure, limb amputation, amoungst other things.

Answer 3

Type 1, insulin dependent is also called juvenile diabetes. Just like any other condition, it can cause death if you do not take care of yourself. There is no cure, although the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is always looking for a cure. Type 2 is controlled by diet, pills and or shots of insulin. Type 1 is sometimes genetic, and sometimes caused by an autoimmune disorder. Type 2 is usually from being overweight. Watching your weight, not eating a lot of sugar and staying physically active can help you not get diabetes, mainly type 2. It can delay the onset of type 1. Type1 usually affects children from birth to age 20. Type 2 is being seen in younger people, not just middle aged and up, due to unhealthy eating and life styles. Don't worry so much about what you might get, but on how to stay healthy. Causes of death in Type 1 diabetics (and type 2) usually comes from not taking your medications, eating what you should not, and not regulating your blood sugars. Blindness, kidney and heart failure, and high cholesterol are also associated with diabetes.

Answer 5

In some cases, Type 2 diabetics (90% of diabetes cases) can reduce their dependence on medication with diet and lifestyle changes. This is not a cure, however. If they stop the changes they made, their blood sugar will rise again.

Type 1 diabetics (10% of diabetes cases) have had their immune system destroy their insulin producing cells, so they are now dependent on insulin injections for life. There is no herb, pill, or special diet that can cure Type 1 diabetes, no matter what some uneducated and mis-informed people would have you believe.

Answer 7

Diet & excercise can help control diabetes. Some people are able to reduce or avoid medications.

However, since people cannot feel when their blood sugar is high, getting regular check ups & blood tests is crucial. Diabetes is a "sneaky" disease like high blood pressure. Your body adapts so you don't feel any symptoms but the damage is being done.

Find a doctor who is willing to work with you & who you trust. Do what you can to manage your diabetes in terms of diet and excercise AND get checked regularly to avoid any long term problems. (e.g. kidney damage, macular degeneration, etc.)

Answer 8

I've got type 2. I got my sugar down to very healthy levels (last A1C is 5.3) but the Doc told me that because I was diagnosed I will be diabetic my whole life, even if my number never go above normal again, because I've shown a suseptability towards it. . When I'm dead they'll put on my stone "No Longer Diabetic!"

Answer 9

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
