If you have Type 1 diabetes you can not get rid of it.  You do need to work with your doctor to establish a routine to be as healthy as possible.\n\nIf you are Type 2 you may be able to control your diabetes with exercise, a good nutrition plan, and monitoring.  It is possible to reduce your need for oral medication.\n\nI have been a type 1 for 20 years.  It can be handled but it is something that must be paid attention to.

I am a Type 2 Diabetic and am very familiar with diet and exercise.  The most important things to watch out for are a high A1C, numbness in feet (neuropathy)and low carb intake.\n\nIf you've been diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor has probably mentioned that you should pay careful attention to nutrition and diet as part of your treatment program. Nutrition experts say that there is no one diet for diabetes, but people with diabetes should follow the nutrition guidelines in the Food Pyramid, while paying special attention to carbohydrate intake. People with diabetes should also eat about the same amount of food at the same time each day to keep blood sugar levels stable. \n\nGetting Started With Nutrition Treatment\nIf you've never attempted to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet before your diabetes diagnosis, it can be difficult to know where to get started. Try these tips from the American Dietetic Association:\n\nEat more starches such as bread, cereal, and starchy vegetables. Aim for six servings a day or more. For example, have cold cereal with nonfat milk or a bagel with a teaspoon of jelly for breakfast. Another starch-adding strategy is to add cooked black beans, corn or garbanzo beans to salads or casseroles. \nEat five fruits and vegetables every day. Have a piece of fruit or two as a snack, or add vegetables to chili, stir-fried dishes or stews. You can also pack raw vegetables for lunch or snacks. \nEat sugars and sweets in moderation. Include your favorite sweets in your diet once or twice a week at most. Split a dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth while reducing the sugar, fat and calories.\nSoluble fibers are found mainly in fruits, vegetables and some seeds, and are especially good for people with diabetes because they help to slow down or reduce the absorption of glucose from the intestines. Legumes, such as cooked kidney beans, are among the highest soluble fiber foods. Other fiber-containing foods, such as carrots, also have a positive effect on blood sugar levels. Insoluble fibers, found in bran, whole grains and nuts, act as intestinal scrubbers by cleaning out the lower gastrointestinal tract. \n\nAfter a diabetes diagnosis, consider seeing a dietitian and developing a meal plan to get started. Taking into account your lifestyle, your medication, your weight and any medical conditions you may have in addition to diabetes as well as your favorite foods, the dietitian will help you create a diet that will prevent complications of diabetes and still give you the pleasure you've always had in eating. To find a diabetes teacher (nurse, dietitian, pharmacist and other health care professional), call the American Association of Diabetes Educators at 1-800-342-2382. If you want to find a dietitian near you, call the American Dietetic Association's National Center for Nutrition and Dietetics at 1-800-366-1655 or visit their Web site at www.eatright.org/find.html.  \n\nHealthier Weight and Lifestyle\nReaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important for everyone with diabetes. Weight control is extremely important in treating type 2 diabetes because extra body fat makes it difficult for people with type 2 diabetes to make and use their own insulin. If you are overweight, losing just 10 to 20 pounds may improve your blood sugar control so much that you can stop taking or reduce your medication. \n\nIf you smoke and have been diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor will recommend that you quit because smoking makes problems caused by diabetes worse. People with diabetes can experience blood flow problems in the legs and feet, which can sometimes lead to amputation. Smoking can decrease blood flow even more. Smoking can also worsen sexual impotence in men, cause high levels of LDL cholesterol (the bad type of cholesterol), and can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. If you have diabetes and you smoke, you need to quit. \n\nAlthough alcohol in small amounts can be fit into your meal plan if you

The first method that is always tried is diet and exercise.  Type 2 diabetes occurs becuase of insulin resistance in the body, meaning there is too much fat.  By decreasing fat stores through diet and exercise, you decrease the insulin resistance in your body.  However, if this fails, there are many different medications out (and many in development) that can be prescribed by your doctor.  However, it is important to realize that diet and exercise are still an important part of the treatment of type 2 diabetes.  It is very important to keep doctors appointments when you have type 2 diabetes because changes may be made to your medications and this needs to be monitored carefully.

The Best Diabetic Diet...\n\nUntil only recently, experts thought that sugar was to diabetics what kryptonite was to Superman.  But the understanding of diabetes has progressed faster than a speeding bullet, and with that comes sweet news for people with the disease.\n\nIf you¹re a diabetic, it's OK to have a cookie for dessert or accept a slice of Aunt Mabel's fruitcake. In fact, according to the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association, which were first revised in 1994 and most recently in December 2001, you can eat just about anything you like.\n\nThere's a caveat, however: You need to pay attention to your diet as a whole and monitor your blood sugar level two hours after meals to see whether any individual food elevates it.\n\nStill, there is no longer any such thing as a "diabetic diet."

Eliminate the "bad" carbs, -usually they are anything white, only as a general rule, and eat only the high fiber carbs-whole grains, whole wheat-read labels, even watch certain veggies. Exercise Always helps, eat 6 small portions a day that are mostly protein, trying to eliminate dairy products, cut out the fat and the red meat!By eating 6 small meals daily, this will keep your insulin level at the proper level and you will not be hungry.  Buy a small book on carbs from your neighborhood drug store to better understand the difference between good and bad carbs and keep track on how many grams you are eating.  When I lost weight, I was on 15 grams of Good carbs.  Good luck, watch the dairy, fat, and red meat and I know you will do great.  If you are diabetic consult with your Doctor first, or if you have any other health matters.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that, at this time, there is no proven cure for diabetes.\nThere are a lot of claims for "cures", but, so far, none have stood up to rigorous testing.\n\nSome forms of diabetes (type 1) will require treatment with insulin, other forms (type 2) may respond to changes in diet and exercise, or may need oral medication..  but be aware that you are only treating the effects, you are not curing the disease, and it will need constant care and monitoring.  \n\nIf you suspect you are diabetic, then consult a reputable doctor as early as possible.

I have had diabetes for 13 years now. As myself and my parents became more aware of diabetes, we discovered that the best type of recipes to go for are ones in which have enough carbohydrate to keep my blood sugar stable, but doesn't have a lot of fat in. \n\nI suggest things like, pasta dishes. Beef or Pork Stews. Lasagne. Noodles. I'm afraid I don't know any recipes off hand, but if you have a look online for healthy eating recipes rather than so called, 'Diabetic' recipes, you will be able to find some good hints and suggestions. Try to steer away from foods with a lot of salt content and try not to add any salt to your diet.\n\nAs far as desserts go, I would suggest things with low sugar and fat content. Again, health eating recipes are good. \n\nGood luck and bon apetite!

This depends greatly on what type of diabetes u have and how severe it is. Type 1 diabetes or juvinial diabetes cannot be controlled with out the use of injectable insulin. In this type of diabetes the islets of langerhorn in the pancreas do not produce the insulin neccessary for cells to metabolise food. Without this, the body will actually start to produce acids that eat the person's own fat cells. This produces a state of ketoacidosis. eventually the body will become so ill used and dehydrated that kidney falure and even coma can occur. Very serious stuff! The type 1 diabetic must take insulin to replace the stuff that their body cannot make on its own. Diet and exercise are also very important here.\nType 2 diabetes (often referred to as adult onset diabetes) can ofetn be controlled with diet and exercise. Type two dibetes is often caused from th body not being able to effectively use its own insulin. There are oral meds that can be taken to help the body do this if diet and exercise are not enough. Sometimes the condition is so bad that type 2 diabetics may have to use injectable insulin for awhile.\nIf you are diabetic I recommend finding out all you can about your disease. Knowlege is the best tool you can have at your disposal. It is important to learn how to evaluate your food and you caloric expendature if you are to stay healthy. You need to find a good doctor (called an endocrinologist) to help you decide what your treatment plan should be. After you familiarise yourself with the disease it is possible to self evaluate yourself most of the time under only the occasional advice of your physician. But do not do this until you know what you are doing. Diabetes can take a great toll later on in life if you don't take care of yourself. Kidney failure, limb amputation, blindness and neuropathy are just a few things to fear in a diabetic's future. \nI hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to contact me!

Since you have diabetes, I would suggest cranberry capsules, which have virtually all the sugar processed out of the cranberry but leave the good properties.  Drink a lot of water to help flush out your kidneys.  Chamommile tea seems to help as well, as does green tea.  Since they are light diuretics, they can get your kidneys working a little overtime to flush out the infection a little quicker.  Something I've found useful as well is to take an Airborne tablet every day while you're trying to get rid of the infection to help boost your body's immune system (I plop on in a cup of hot chamommile tea).  Be careful when bathing as well to use a very gentle soap, one without glycerine as glycerine can irritate the sensitive tissues down there (you don't want a UTI in addition to the kidney infection).

The best thing you can do for yourself is to exercise regulary.  It is VERY important NOT to be overweight.  This is the leading cause of Type 2 diabetes because the insulin that your body produces doesn't work as well in an overweight person.
