I actually just seen this on t.v. not to long ago, Doctors think they have come out with a cure.  They also have formed some kind of patch that you can put on your arm so that patients don't have to keep giving themselves shots in the stomach. I am not sure how to find out where this info came from, but you may be able to search the web and find out more info. I hope I helped. Good Luck, and try to keep yourself healthy

Hi!  My son was diagnosed almost a year ago with type 1 so I understand how you are feeling.  There is no cure for diabetes.  Yes, God can heal him but all you can do is pray for that and deal with the diabetes until then because it may never happen.  God would not have given you this precious little boy to take care of had you not been able to take care of him the way he deserves to be taken care of.  My heart goes out to you and I pray that God gives you the peace that he has given me to deal with this.  I believe that both of our sons will be better people because of this.  More compassionate and sensitive to others with disabilities.  If there is anything I can help you with or any questions I can answer or if you just need someone who has been there to vent to please email me at randareed1126@yahoo.com.  There is also a message board for parents of children with type 1 on the American Diabetes Association website that has an amazing support system.  Any questions you have someone will have the answer.  There are so many caring parents on their that have felt all the things we have felt and been through it all!  Here is the link to The Place for Parents messageboard http://community.diabetes.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=adaparents  \n\nGod bless you and your son.  You will be in my prayers.

It is possible to live as long as someone who has diabetes. Researchers are on the brink of getting it to that point. The medical community announced there was a new weapon in the fight against AIDS. This new weapon was found in pregnant women. Many women have died from AIDS who were pregnant or had once been pregnant. The new weapon found in pregnant women is lysozyme. In 1999 the announcement was made on national television. There isn't any hurry on the part of medical researchers to help people.\n  Lysozyme works. Peppermint oil lozenges when combined with the enzymes in saliva ( particularly lysozyme ) form a powerful weapon against the virus. Any top AIDS researcher in the world will be able to verify and explain how peppermint oil lozenges will work against the AIDS virus. It can be a potent yet cheap alternative to keep people alive even in third world countries.

No, it is not a cure.  It will help to temporarily lower your blood sugar by helping to make insulin more effective at getting blood sugar from the blood stream into your cells.  \n\nUntil they come up for a cure for diabetes and its precursor condition - hyperinsulinemia - the best advice is to find a diet that lowers your intake of sugar and foods high in natural sugar (high glycemic).  There are many books available at your local library.\n\nCheck out www.hufa.org for more info on blood sugar imbalances.

Diabetes is a cronical disease, you cannot cure it with today means. Diabetes Type I needs Insulin to be treated, there is not another way. The sooner you start in insulin the better chances to enjoy quality life and avoid to certain extend future medical complications.

Hi Sylvestor\n\nHere are some ideas to healp your healing process. You can cure yourself, but it does take some effort. #8 is the most important. You must detoxify your body of toxins with a cleansing program (colon and liver especially).\n\nQuick Action Plan for Diabetes\n\n\n1. Be aware for early signs of blood sugar problems. Have the proper yearly tests performed.\n\n2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal lamb or veal.\n\n3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.\n\n4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health.\n\n5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are keys to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.\n\n6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.\n\n7. Herbs such as astragalus, bitter melon, fenugreek, garlic, ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and huerque can also provide significant benefits.\n\n8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, oxygen therapy, and professional dietary and nutritional counseling. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine can also be helpful.\n\n9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Yes. I think diabetes has a cure, but the drug companies make so much money on insulin and testing supplies that if the cure was let out they would all go bankrupt.

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.

In diabetes glucose level in your body cannot be controlled, which could lead to excessive amounts of sugar. And that is dangerous. The enzymes that help control the glucose level are destroyed. \nSo doctors prescribe a lifetime medicine as its not yet curable. Only proper diet can help u get rid of the medications.

though it is a medical thing.. i shoudnt be giving you any advice.. but my mother has high diabetes and she takes insulin 5 times a day.\nShe was able to bring her sugar level down.\nShe stopped eating fried product and butter.  No more sugar... not even in tea or coffee.. just whole grain products like brown bread and brown rice...\nI bought her a small puppy.. and she goes with him for walk.. which is very healthy.\nShe eats loads of green vegetable.. \nand takes medicine regularly... just a little ocntrol on your diet and little exercise will help it . You should go to a dietician and do a diet list:)\n\ngood luck

There is no cure for diabetes.  Only medication to treat the disease.  You should talk to your doctor about diet, exercise, etc to help keep your blood sugar from the extreme highs and lows.  \n\nThere are NO herbal or homeopathic medicines for diabetes.  If you come across one that says that their products will CURE it......it's a lie.  These companies get in big trouble all the time for putting out those false claims.  People, who are desperate, will believe that and stop their medications believing in the "cure"....which doesn't exist.  Some of them die, but they all become very sick.

G'day Mark m,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nI would advise the relevant doctor that you have diabetes and they should be able to advise you whether it does or not.\n\nIn most cases, I would believe not but it would depend on the medication.\n\nRegards

Herbal treatment of Diabetes is a myth. Because diabetes is incurable ,everyday someone comes with a new herb.Please ignore it.\nSyzyzium zambolanum is the seed whose powder is added to some tea. and it does not work.

There are, at this writing, NO cures for diabetes mellitus (either Type 1 or Type 2, which are quite different diseases with shared symptoms). Whether herbal or otherwise. We now understand diabetes well enough to understand what it is, and what a cure would behave. And nothing comes close so far. \n\nThere is some prospect of cures for both, however. In the case of uncomplicated Type 1, replacement of the beta cells which have been lost would be a cure. The problem is that  beta cells from anyone else are attacked by the immune system and destroyed. There are various schemes for evading this in the research labs, and some of them are showing promise. A clinically successful approach is (probably) going to be found relatively soon, and if so, Type 1 will be curable. The 'graft rejection' immune system problem could be evaded if beta cells could be developed from the body's own cells. This will likely be possible if we could understand stem cells well enough, and this possibility is one of the strongest promises of that research. The political situation surrounding stem cell research (especially in the US) merely complicates the research problem, but doesn't change the underlying possibilities and promise of the science.\n\nType 2 is more difficult as the characteristic problem is the resistence of cells throughout the body to the action of insulin in getting body cells to absorb glucose from the blood. However, we are close to understanding the underlying cellular mechanism of insulin action (and perhaps to the cause of its failure) and this may lead to a theraputic advance good enough to be called a cure.\n\n\n=======\n\nOne of the most serious problems in regard to diabetes is the frequency and variety of the quackery which surrounds it. It is a serious disease (both of the most common Types) and is a real nuisance to treat in all Type 1 cases (insulin is required) and many Type 2 cases (unending scheming about diet, exercise, and medication of various types). With no  cure from standard medicine, there seems to be an open invitation to sharp operators. The variety of 'ancient cures' from somewhere else in the world, 'non-toxic treatments', and so on is substantial. Absolutely none of these 'cures' or 'supports' has been shown to actually work; if any of them did, it will be adopted quite promptly by regular medicine since there are no effective treatments for diabetes which aren't a nuisance for both patient and doctor. Patients would demand it with no doubt at all, as such a breakthrough would certainly be first page news around the world. Diabetes and insulin research have won at least 4 Nobel Prizes so far, and there's little reason to think there wouldn't be another for such a breakthrough. Quite an incentive for researchers, actually.

I would think all medicines would have the potential.  Ask your doctor or pharmacist what the ingredients are and possible side effects if you're diabetic.

Pretty much, yes. After all, diabetes is a chronic condition with potentially serious complications.
