Question 1

could you tell me what are some diabetes cures or remedies on the market?

Accepted Answer

None: There are no cures for diabetes. The disease is controlled through a combination of diet, exercise and medications.

Question 2

can type i diabetes be cured?

Accepted Answer

No: Only treated for the present time. Active research is undergoing though to find a cure. Please check with your local diabetes chapter if your interested in participating in the cause to find a cure.

Question 3

can diabetes be cured/controlled?

Accepted Answer

Controlled not cured: Diabetes leads to the inexerale loss of the Insulin producing beta cells. Even the "surgical cure" of a roux-en-y in morbid obesity will not permanently cure. We have no drugs to reverse the continued loss of beta cells in the pancreas.

Question 4

can diabetes be cured using a baby's stem cells?

Accepted Answer

Stem cells & diabete: No, not currently.  However, this is an area of considerable interest and one can remain optimistic that such may be possible some day soon (and by soon i mean years to decades!).

Question 5

can type 1 diabetes be cured by stem-cell treatment?

Accepted Answer

No: Not really because what is wrong with diabetes is that the pancreas has no more cells that produce Insulin so even if you can stop the production of cells that will fight against the pancreas we do not know how to make new healthy cells that will make Insulin again.

Question 6

can diabetes be fully cured?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on the cause of diabetes. There are some reversible situations that may look like cured diabetes but are only situations of removing insulin counter hormones or resistance. In insulin resistance due to obesity or too much weight gain losing weight and staying in normal weight may be a cure.

Question 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

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.
