Type 1 diabetes has been here for almost 50 years.
Happy anniversary to me!
You will not "cure" diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin or the inability of the body's cells to respond properly to the insulin it produces. There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes is caused by a loss of beta cells that prevent the pancreas from producing enough insulin. This form was previously known as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM) or "juvenile diabetes". Loss of beta cells is caused by an autoimmune reaction. The cause of this autoimmune reaction is unknown.
Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells do not respond properly to insulin. As the disease progresses, insulin deficiency may also develop. This form was previously known as "non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (NIDDM) or "adult-onset diabetes". The most common causes are excess body weight and insufficient exercise.
Gestational diabetes is the third major form that occurs when a pregnant woman without diabetes develops high blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes must be controlled with insulin injections. Prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes include maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight, and avoiding tobacco use. Type 2 diabetes can be treated with drugs such as insulin sensitizers with or without insulin. Blood pressure control and proper foot and eye care are important for people with this condition. Insulin and some oral medications can cause low blood sugar. Bariatric surgery for obese patients is sometimes an effective intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after the baby is born.
So it depends on what type of diabetes you have. At least except for gestational diabetes, which is permanent until science can find a cure. Not yet. It is best to find an endocrinologist or diabetologist to work with you to help you maintain good blood sugar control that will lead to good health.
As I mentioned at the beginning of my answer, I have had a condition (not a disease) for almost 50 years and my health has been excellent since seeing a qualified doctor who specializes in this and we work together and I like and trust Hi M. Finally, don't take medical advice from strangers on the Internet. Find a board certified expert and follow his/her instructions.
