No: No, unfortunately so far there is no cure for diabetes type one or type two, but there are multiple assist programs for people who can't afford their meds look here http://diabetes.Niddk.Nih.Gov/dm/pubs/financialhelp/ and here http://m.Diabetes.Org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/health-insurance-options/prescription-assistance.Html.

No but: For type 1 diabetes, we do not yet have a cure, and Insulin is a necessary part of treatment at present. However, lots of progress is being made in our understanding of diabetes so i'd encourage you to be hopeful. In the meantime focus on healthy living and good control of your diabetes to minimize the risk of complications.

Not at this time.: Dm i is very serious, and will cause multi-organ damage over time, relative to the level of hyperglycemia that the patient experiences. So you need to be treating this aggressively, through the management of an endocrinologist. Strict diet and aerobic exercise are an important part of treatment.
