Question 1

what can be done to cure diabetes?

Accepted Answer

None: There is no cure for diabetes, but there is control by maintenance of your weight, proper diet (diabetic type), exercise, medications, and insulin.

Question 2

can you please discuss the possible solutions that researchers are using in an attempt to cure diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Not enough space: To detail all the current research. Check the ada or jdrf websites. The "cure" (actually prevention or treatment) for type 2 diabetes is already known -- it's diet, exercise and weight loss.

Question 3

could an insulinoma be used to cure diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Won't work: Insulinomas are cruel tumors that are usually semi-malignant and pump insulin into the bloodstream, sickenng the person and forcing them to overeat. If a savvy physician makes the call, they can often be cured surgically. In type I diabetes, immunity destroys the normal islets and would destroy an insulinoma. In type II, one's resistant to insulin. Glad your own endocrine tumor was R'd. Good luck

Question 4

are there any natural ways to cure diabetes insipidus?

Accepted Answer

Need medication: It is important to determine the cause of diabetes insipidus.  It involves the absense of a pituitary hormone.  Common causes are head trauma, pituitary tumors, surgery. Kidney diabetes insipidus (nephrogenic) can be caused by certain drugs, such as lithium.  If your doctor knows the cause, then treating the cause can sometimes reverse it.  But usually treatment with DDAVP (desmopressin) is essential.

Question 5

can there be any surgery that can cure diabetes for teens?

Accepted Answer

Manage your diabetes: Currently there is no cure, and no surgical cure for diabetes in teens, aka type i diabetes. However, management is available and significantly better than ever, and getting better all the time. Help focus your teenager on best management. The quality of life and life expectancy is near normal with management. Check out medronic diabetes and symlin (pramlintide). Don't give up.
