Diabetes that is completely insulin dependent cannot be cured. Some believe that Type 2 diabetes can be cured with exercise, weight reduction and diet, but most people find lifestyle changes difficult to make. Also there is a confusion regarding the most ideal low fat and low carbohydrate diet.
Type 2 diabetes can be managed to remain dormant without the harmful consequences of high sugar levels. Diabetic education and forums could help educate people to contain it till an effective cure is found out.
