There are several approaches now being taken to see for possible diabetes cures,including:

-Pancreas transplantation
-Islet cell transplant(the cell responsible for producing insulin)
-Developing an artificial pancreas

And of course there is always genetic code modification,but it might be a few years before this comes into place.

What about exercise guys? Are you guys forgetting about this vital element of diabetes control? I personally think that if one is in great health(from diet and fitness) to begin with,then diabetes would be much less existent in today's society.

Pancreas transplants, etc... are probably last resort treatments and unlikely what the original poster had in mind.

As far as exercise, I think it is a great way to offer some benefit, but compliance rates (especially in type 2 diabetics) are dismal to suggest someone bank on that alone.


To the original poster: What exactly is it about your diabetes that is NOT under control (ie. - insulin, blood glucose, neuropathy, etc....)? To get your particular case in-line with what it needs, a bit more information would be useful.

Stress management plays a HUGE role in controlling diabetes, so I 'd suggest you look into stress relief techniques to better help control your diabetes and keep it under wraps.

Stress can aggravate diabetes symptoms so it would make sense that keeping it under control would help.

All fruits and vegetables are good regardless of sugar content. You can eat at least five portions of fruits and vegetables everyday.

The natural ways to control diabetes are as follows:

a. Diet Control - Avoid fatty foods, sugar, chocolates, sweets, ice creams, fast food, and oily stuff. Have shorter meals more number of times daily instead of a fewer large meals

b. Regular Exercise - Go for regular morning walk. Brisk walking is advisable as it will burn the glucose in blood stream

c. Daily Meditation - Simple meditation will help achieve body and mind equilibrium

The above schedule will be useful in checking diabetes.

Controlling your diabetes depends on whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Diet and exercise has cured many with Type 2 Diabetes, so that can definitely be done. It is much tougher with Type 1 diabetes. I got Type 1 as an adult and I am still working on it.

Look into what diabetes is, you won't know how to keep it under control if you don't know what the condition is. Also, make sure you are watching what you're eating and are exercising!

I wouldn't pig out on citrus fruits, personally. I tried that for awhile, based on the 80/10/10 diet and it made me feel jittery and required a lot of insulin. Also, that causes some people to have problems with their teeth.

I think the most overlooked vegetables that are needed are green veggies. Smoothies and homemade juices are great, as well as salads.

Cure diabetes? Diet and exercise will keep the disease controlled but not cure it. There hasn't been a cure found as of yet for diabetes.

Oh yes, Type 2 diabetes can definitely be reversed in many cases. Type 2 is a lifestyle disease. Many people have lost weight and cured themselves. Once they lose weight, often their insulin resistance is reversed. But, you are right, there is no cure for Type 1 yet. The pancreas is damaged, or the beta cells, or the immune system is attacking them or something and you can reduce your need for insulin but not eliminate it.

Yes, type 2 diabetes can be cured by dieting and exercise. Type 1 is the most hardest diabetes to deal with. even if you go on diet and exercise still the BSL is high and can't be controlled.

Exercise is best way to control diabetes. The good news is that keeping blood sugar levels under control can help keep you healthy and prevent health problems down the road. That's why everyone might seem concerned about keeping your diabetes under control. They want you to feel good, be healthy, and stay healthy.

You can always choose eating raw foods like fruits, vegetables, cashews, cacao, and others. All these are rich in nutrients, but low in fats and cholesterol.
